Hi Paul,

I'm about to use these guys http://www.hardyengineering.co.uk/

They were the most helpful I talked to and seemed to have a good reputation; mine should be getting done in the next month if you're after some feedback on them? They rebuilding the whole box and replacing the rivets in the Diff for £300 - 350.

Is around £300 is a fair price in people's mind?

davidhawkins_78 I reckon that £300 is a good price for a box rebuild, I'd be happy to pay that
