Anyone know anywhere good for a replacement, apart from fleabay?

Just make sure you get the right one for the passenger driveshaft there's two different lengths. also there's two different types of gear linkage as well. One the rods clip on top the other clips from the rear.
Im in the middle of putting my 1.4 back together. 3rd gearbox and a new engine this time seeing as when the diff blew itself to bits last time and pulled the box away from the engine ripped part of the block where it bolts into with it.

Scrap yard for sure boxes on ebay are a rip-off.
Could you still move it slightly before it totally went? I only trashed the planet gears in mine it was cheaper to throw some new ones in.

Good price? What am I looking at to get it fitted price wise? And should I be replacing anything else at the same time?
