From inside the large sump - I've broken a clip on mine

Did you not like the idea of getting a Ar35 box and putting it straight in 

[steve6367]

I thought removing / installing the box was beyond my DIY skill so was just going for the solenoid change. Unfortunately I think found thrust washer in the small dump so was forced to remove the box anyway! It's been a good learning experience so far, but happy to admit the forum wisdom was correct and a swap would have been quicker!

Don't worry 

Priority 1 is always getting your car back on the road. Sometimes that can involve getting a replacement component as a spare, which you can work on refurbing at your leisure in the shed etc.. meanwhile a 'gets me back on the road' thing can be fitted. Tackling the repair of something critical like an alternator, exhaust, gearbox, that if not mended for work tomorrow morning means a taxi in/bus/beg a lift can cause more aggro than it's worth.   

Hope you're sorted soon  Plenty of AR25s on here as possible spares donors.
