I am on my 4th 1999 V70R AWD, three of which have been Laser Blue. The latest one was a Japanese import and I'm having gearbox issues. I am a woman of many talents but not one of them involves rebuilding gearboxes.

My local Volvo main dealers, Rybrook Chester, aren't interested in helping me to repair a classic Volvo and would rather I bought an XC90 from them and even charge to read a fault code. I use local Volvo experts Mereseyswede in Liverpool who have advised that I need to get the gearbox reconditioned. They have used a Liverpool firm in the past but said to avoid them as they didn't do a good job.

Can anyone point me in the direction of help, ideally in the North West of England?
