It's lost its forward gears,it still has reverse,common on renaults apparently,my friend only had it 4 days!,he paid £400 for it,said all he wanted was his taxi fair home and enough to go to the chippy...lol

Thats sad man, that means he got ripped off twice

I had one of those, never had a problem with the auto box.

I didn't rip him off!,gave him what he asked for,i did offer him more,he just wanted rid of it,it is a shame to break it though,but to have it repaired its going to cost around £700,looked in all local breakers yards but all autoboxes already gone,if anyone wants anything let me know...wayne

Good Luck - and you can always slip your mate a few quid out your profits

My apologies, did'nt mean you ripped him off, as u gave him what he asked for, u could have gave him a lift home though to save him the taxi fare on the way past the chippie

Have you tried any online used spare part searchs? for a gearbox I've used them to some success. Just Google used car spare parts, and take it from there If you are successful you will get one or several calls from breakers ( usually quite early) with prices terms etc
