Tempted to fix her with a recon gearbox but best place to find one? Don't want to get one from just anywhere incase it has other problems?

Unplugged gearbox ecu and plugged back in and it made a massive difference but driving on motorway noticed it isn't changing into 4th :(, driving 60/70 just over 4rpm then change into 3rd and revs stay the same? so guessing 4th gear must have gone :/

Front and rear Brakes, rear bearings all need doing as well  :cry: :cry:

Bit getting a 2nd hand rather than a reconditioned etc how do I know it won't brake in a weeks time? :/

Might just be better off keeping this as I only want it till after jan then I can look for a newer car :)

the fault code is 00268 shift solenoid 6 open n93, can't really afford to buy another car, so getting a 2nd hand gearbox looks like the cheapest option, just need to find out how many hours labour a garage would charge :(
