They must have jumped across when the traffics slow through Saltaire ! Little b'stards !

Yep I reckon they did!! What mpg do you get from the Rallye?

I've no idea as the MFA is in KM's and it's not worked out like the MPH ones, so it doesn't say you get 20 KM's per gallon it's worked out some other strange way and as the manual is in German I can't work it out ! : laugh:

I'm guessing about 20 odd though.

Probably in Km per litre so youve got two calculations to do!

Spanky - that new box must have different ratios in plus a higher diff ratio.
Go check it on a motorway and see what speed you get at a set rpm.

Ohh, I forgot that rallyes are all km, litres etc.

I'll give it a good run on a motorway soon, to scope out the revs to speed ratio!

Spanky: what would the price of been with out labour "just the box recond" i f ya don't mind me asking

[spankyVR6]

I didn't get a quote for just the recon box, as I have a mate that has done that before and told he had a warranty with the new box, but when it went wrong and he tried to do something about it he was told "It was put in the car by someone else, so it's nothing to do with us, they must have caused the damage!".
I should imagine it would be quite a bit cheaper for just the recon unit, as there will be a few hours in putting in a gearbox!
