A reconned one from Renno is only about 600 I think?

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.
be cheaper to buy a new box wouldnt it?
Can't buy new boxes from Renault there all recons.

Well, the casings are reconned. AFAIK all the internals are spanky new.
£600 Through J3neds contact.
(caps off :roll: ) looks like i'll have to raid the gf's piggy bank lol :wink:
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.
thats crazy! :shock:
u can get a engine transfer for cheaper than that
mmm dunno about that!
depends where you go, and what quality of engine you are putting in!!

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..
I seems like you got a fooking bargin on your box!
When mine nukes itself im going for a JC5!
Whats this special technique you speak of? :roll: :wink:
mine cost around £850 iirc....that was new box and case and fitting

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.
£350 from our box rebuilder, based in birmingham

wheres this then Fred?.....need 2 kno 4 wen this box gos lol
he's in Shirley in Birmingham, deals with trade only
id still go the reno route tbh....12 months warranty etc....last rebuild i had, came to a 400 bill, needed a few parts machining, came with a 3 month warranty.....blew up after 9 lol.
what did it need machining? seems very odd
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.
