Have you contacted them to find out what the delay is?

If they don't come up with the goods then check the Yellow Pages for local gearbox places. That's how I found the place that done mine.

Try having a word with TSR as they are now trading up and running again. Although it's different management they have said they will try to help people who have been messed about before....a long shot I know, but if you don't ask you don't get.
