you won't be wanting to eat at goodwood trust me you will need a bank loan but ok for a cupper then on to a pub i recon and i can think of a nice one with good road to it lol lol
well they been there for along as i can rember and i'm 45 so they must be doing somthing right alsp thinking that maybe you could put it on a boat to portsmouth and they may collect from the docks for you as only just round the corner from them
mate used this place for his box (in a range rover) and done a quick turn around not sure on cost but he said it was ok price http://www.expressgearbox.co.uk/
maybe worth sending the bit off to a specilest and ask there opion as to what they are, but after finding them i'm not sure i would want to go to the hastle od puting it all back in the car to find it don't work
well tbh i really can't see why you could'nt do it as you have 2 box's so you could use one for refrance as you done the second one ......but i for one would not be brave enough to do it lol lol lol
they are what it says on the tin lol lol when the box changes gear they work the same as a manual clutch would, they disengage and reingage the gears as you need them
if its not metal then i would say it is the clutch bands broken up so the box would need a rebuild i know a place in portsmouth the does them but not over in guernsey
well it looks like your first box has had some done on it allready i really can't see it being a prob if it was done in small sections so it did'nt get cooked in one go gotta be worth asking some pro welders
witterings beach would be good for a summer barby but they now charge 7 quid just to get in there mate goodwood not a prob as said daughter works there so thats easy and good place for some pics
found and new mod for you chaps and chapess's on here your really gonna want these lol lol lol lol http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-CORSA-LIGHT-POD-SQUARE-SPOT-LAMPS-WHEELS-/380215543852?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item58869cc82c#ht_2839wt_1140
