ha ha nar not a gear box. its got a recon box neway. theres a plastic type box thing that the gear stick plugs in to, to connect to the linkage, was a new 1 of them with 2 white plastic things with springs n screwe's. theres loads of new ford parts in the boot in un open bags, new spot lights with all fittings, bushes. he orderd them all when ordering bits for a ford transit b4 hey left for a new job. thats where all the bits come from for the engine. got to get the turbo rebuilt, but just found out a mates mrs dad has his own company that builds or recons them? mate said get all the part numbers n he might be able to get it done for me cheap!

Been out in the rs today!!! bit of smoke at 1st but cleared up after a min, seems ok all gears work fine boost's good!! sounds good! happy.
bit worried about temp gauge tho. tried what people have said on here still nothing. and it seems rather hot under the lid or is this normal for a rs? never the less im happy
