Well, the R has eaten yet another box, its fourth! It was early this morning so i guess it wanted it for breakfast!
This weak box is really beginning to get me down. Since i had the last one fitted in August it has been treated pretty carefully, no red line starts or spinning it at 60 etc, just standard if slightly fast driving. No warning this time, last one i knew it was going but today just lost drive.
I am not to happy putting another used one in as they have done usually 100k and are 10 years old, my other options are:
New: just to expensive.
Recon: Expensive but a years warrenty, what worries me is that they use the old box and you cant be sure what is replaced, if the casing is worn it might last a year then i am back where i started.
I am also seriously thinking about going back to standard tune, i dont think these autos can handle the extra torque.
Any advice would be appreciated, any good re-con companies?, my indie volvo mate has recommeded gear tech in worcester?
Whinge over.
Steve
