dodger 3,589 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Mate i have a 2007 van.. You wont need a gear box, its a bearing in the box.. I thought at first it was a wheel bearing with the noise. Not many folk work on them, I drove from cumbria to bradford to get its fixed. It cost £450 with six moth warrenty or re furbed gear box £800 12 months warrenty . Its common fault on that box.. Check VX forums etc.. Gear box on ebay will be kicking on a grand and it still might f**k up.. This was company I used, took a full day to fix.. I just took my mrs and went shopping, cinema and a curry lol.. http://www.cleckheaton-gearbox-centre.co.uk/4x4-specialists.html They wont do you.. Told me if they could fix they would or it would be a new one.. Mines sweet now.. You could run it for years but if it goes its defo a new box. mine made noise in first and secound and when running gear stick used to move a bit, sort of floating.. I would not touch another VX after this Escort vans were bullet proof.. Chekheaton was the cheapest by a long way nearest quote was for bearing was £825 plus vat Vans had new gearbox n clutch fitted now n seems to be drivin great cheers lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
