[quote="AW8"]
Unless immaculate, fault free & with history your valuation for the car sorted may be a little optimistic. The listing number I gave was for the box fitted to your car. Boxes on there own as low as £500 but be mindful there is a risk if you cant find testimonials for a seller offering warranty

My valuation is based on what I've already been offered for it. Folk round my way go mad for LPG

If I was to buy a refurbed box and fit it myself; does the gearbox ecu need to be paired with the car in a anyway? Or will it be just plug and play. Also.i can confirm, yes it is the 5spd GM Gearbox

Plug and play


You may need to reset adaptations though so it starts from scratch
Will need INPA or similar to do it properly
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
