Some gearboxes are £3168, some £3701 and for specially armored vehicles £8006. And they are all most likely rebuilds just like many other parts.

Just checked my version of Etka and for an FBG box like mine, it's £3034+VAT, so £3641 at current prices - my prices may be a month or so out of date though.

Gone up a fair bit by the looks of it

I forgot to get the print out from Inde Tech, however on my invoice it says 'gear ratio faults'.

Inde tech have re-set the codes, it went back into limp after driving for around 5 mins. I'm looking at getting it re-conditioned at http://www.automaticgearbox.biz/
Has anybody heard of these guys? they seem to know what they are talking about, i.e. they use the right oil, they have a test proper bench, they recall the vehcile after 500 mls to pressure test the gearbox.
They quoted approx £2,300 incl VAT, this comes with a 18 month warranty/ 18,000 mls.
Also they have devised many gearbox fixes for Porsche, BMW & Mercedes. and they have reconditioned many many RS6's and S8's. Apparently the D2 S8 gearbox is also used within some jaguars..

Just found another garage who will recondition my gearbox for 1800 all in 'http://www.automatic-gearbox.co.uk' (JT automatics / 2yr warranty) anyone ever heard of these guys?

Good price. Did that include removal and refitting?

Yes it did, just had my 500 mile check, no issues to report. The garage in question also do 12,000 mile check.

I just can't get over how smooth it drives now!!

I would love to come to the meet in October but I will be travelling for work (Philadelphia & Sydney).

In the meantime please see attached, some piccys of my car
