Title: Got my car back!! Post by Chad66 on Mar 23rd, 2005, 3:04pm Hi all, Well after nearly 2 weeks off the road I've finally been and fetched the Scorp from the garage complete with 'new' gearbox......and what a difference!!......gearshifts are absolutely unnoticable, theres no whine on moving off and selecting reverse is instant and also unnoticable (i.e. no clonk or jolt as it engages)...best £800 I ever spent... ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Got my car back!! Post by Chad66 on Mar 24th, 2005, 2:15pm Thanks for all your comments guys...I still can't believe what a difference it makes.... For your information I had it done at 'Belvoir Auto Transmissions' in Newark, Notts (01636 678000). Cost was £675 + Gordon Brown's Fee (£793 total). This is for removal/refitting, full reconditioning of the original box, new torque convertor and sundries (filter/oil etc). Was off the road for just over 2 weeks, but he says it usually only takes a week, but was delayed due to a 'rush job'.....and as I had the courtesy car it didn't affect me to much.... Very knowledgeable about Fords in general...and knew about the differences on the 12v box (and TD) compared to all the other Scorps before he'd even seen the car...always a good thing! |

Title: Re: Got my car back!! Post by Rod on Mar 24th, 2005, 3:28pm Excellent Chad Could you please PM me with their address in Newark as I'm only 15 miles away in Grantham. My box is OK (I think) but we scorp owners only live from day to day - so I will file the details just in case. Cheers m8 |
