and so do i,and my dogs very popular at the custom canine caravan car park
Cruel, but i 'd

You done right man, i'd spend my last penny on the dog or any family mamber, the car will wait quite happily.

Hope you get sorted soon man, but think of it this way, i'd be the same as you, i'd rather a job done right, but £800 on a car which probably isnt worth much more than that (not being cheeky), at £200 a pop, you'd get at least 2 gearboxes, and whats the chances of having bother with another box if its in PWO.
