if the gear selector lights correspond correctly with the gear lever position, i would say thats had it mate. Breakers on here usually have a spare auto box or 2 kicking about for very reasonable money.

Trouble is they are both awol at the moment it seems? Worth an ad in parts wanted section or test zone if you dont have enough posts, maybe Jimbob will move it for you. Hth

There were a couple of AR25's and 35's on eBay the other day  - around the £200 mark if that's any help :y

You're looking at £1000 fro a reconditioned auto box. Far better, as suggested, you get A N Other second hand box.  IMHO
