you can get the gearbox reconned. gearbox specialist can recon them, and that gearbox could be out the car in 45 min tops !

You can get them reconned but if its done the usual of spitting the diff out its going to be major casing damage etc so probably beyond economical repair.

I think skospares have been mentioned as reliable on here before, and their current breaking list includes SDIs. Give 'em a call for a price.

Lummox was these not covered in to a 4th year of warranty?
Because of the rivet nuts?
Used to do loads with the taxis

It very much depends on what has caused the damage.
