Hi guys,
My gearbox crunches into 3rd and I was planning to change it for a used box.
But if it will be cheaper I'd rather just fix it.
I don't use the car for work so could have it off the road for a few days.
Where could I buy parts when I find out what's wrong?
Or is it to much hastle?
Jon.

I have many a time, its not easy. Have you done a headgasket or cambelt before with no worries?
If not dont bother attempting it

I've been offered a gearbox off a 206cc 2.0 2001.
But I've heard different views on whether it would fit my gti 138. 2003.
What would you say?
Can I just check part numbers are the same?
Thanks for your help!

There the same box, it will fit no problem. The only one that's different is the GTi 180.
