    A scrappy would probably be your best bet, you're looking at 2005 builds and on (can't remember the gearbox code but it did change)

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Hi David, I'd looked at this some time ago, it's the BKL gearbox. Facelift gearbox with factory LSD, plus reduced ratios, so greater acceleration. They go for about £350.

    TBH it's not something I've looked for, but I didn't realise they would be both that plentiful and cheap.

    Nice and easy to change the oil when the box isn't on the car as well
