Hi and welcome to the forum. What was the outcome of your gearbox woes, the last we heard you were getting the gearbox supplier out to have a look.
You can't be far from where I live, I'm between Bury and Bolton. I've got a BMW scanner 1.4.0 if you need to code anything let me know.
Hope the X starts to behave herself now the box is sorted.

Hi it turned out that it was to do with the electric box on the bottom of the box something had gone in there so was a bit of a relief to be honest as it did not cost my anymore money.
Im actually based in Westhoughton so im the other side of bolton to you but still not far. Thanks for that i hope i dont have to do anything else on it for a long tome haha.

Guess that should have been the 'mrs' not sure the mods would like 'X' rated issues being discussed on here, then again with PVR back on the scene, who knows  ::)
