He seemed a little stuck with some of the local gearbox places not being interested, so i said i'd do some digging. Irritatingly i've not got the model and year on me, but i'm guessing someone here at least knows the odd pointer.

Based Peterborough/Cambridge area

thanks,

Might possibly be F125 switch (gear selector on the side of the gearbox) problems as they often start with random red lights of doom on selecting reverse only
