Thats what i've been quoted discounted from Renault. Theres a £175 surcharge too. Unless you already have box out when you collect your new one.

yeah around the 600 quid mark for a recon box. labour is a bugger as its engine out jobby!

best put a grand to the side for it!

Drop the subframe, lot less hassle and the engine can stay in situ.
Gav

I put 250 all in aside for mine LTR special box changing technique lol...not a new box but hey I can go through a few of these and it'll still cost me less than a brand spanker..

Just get a 2nd hand box and learn how to swap it yourself. IMHO the recon units from Renault are a waste of time the one I put in mine was put together shite when I took it to bits after I broke it.

See ya

Why didn't you take it back then?
They have 12 months warranty on them.

I got it with the car it was more than 12 months old. I also broke the selector fork which when I asked is apparantly not covered by the warrenty.

See ya

personally idf go the recon from reno route.

its not much labour wise to change it, can be done in a few hours, without having to take the engine out.

the layshaft needed work....2nd 3rd and 4th gears were absolutely smashed to bits. so they needed making, as apparently u cant buy the gear sets any more.

there were a few other bits too but i cant remember what they were now lol.... box was ex craggy box so had been well and truly abused before i got it and finished it off lol.
