Nothing like a new box ever so often. Works a treat. Those stick shifter lovers are jealous you can have a FOC box change.
Yours in sincere sympathy,

PS: I'm sure it will be fine. :smiley:

Just out of interest am I in a position to reject the car seeing as though it has had such a major fault at such a young age ?

Nope as they are able to fix it.

An FOC box that wouldn't be needed if the simplicity of a manual and use of the left arm/leg were employed in the act of changing gear!

DasAuto: Sorry to burst your baloon but unfortunately you don't have a chance in hell for a rejection. But wonders will never cease and there is nothing lost in having a good bash at it.
Hope you get your car repaired to your satisfaction soon and next time buy a manual. :grin:
