I have a gearbox.... 44 thousand miles, removed from my own Td5 Defender prior to it being stripped for it's rebuild. No longer a Td5, so gearbox not needed.
And yes - I have experience of AW transmissions - top bloke who does nearly all of my gearbox and transfer box rebuilds. Doesn't fit them though (but neither does Ashcrofts - they outsource). I can also do you a good price on a Flywheel and Clutch.
