You might want to suggest to them the large audience on forums that would be impressed by them standing by a build they did and how that may be a very positive boost to their business....... or of course the opposite could be the case

Wouldn't be the first time I had seen a business respond quickly to a bit of online advertising....within the rules of course...

It seems there's huge variability in the quality of gearbox rebuilds.

Yes unfortunately it does appear so. Gear box chap said it was all over the place when he run some tests on it and slipping in most gears, which to be fair is what it felt like before it went into its failsafe mode.

So another expensive gearbox rebuild. This one will come with an 18 month warranty and the garage comes recommended from a number of people plus it is alot nearer to go back to than the last place. Just driving it at weekends, means only about 6K miles per year so hopefully wont need another one. Though after paying for the rebuild not sure I will be able to afford to drive it at the weekends now either!

At the end of the day, if you take it back and they repair it there's no guarantee they'll do it properly and you won't be back at square one again.

At least this way you'll have some certainty it'll be done well and should last a while.
