Anyone got a good gearbox man to rebuild my dead 020 VW box after a weekend at Cadwell that didn't start well! London ish would be good, but happy to courier the thing.

Without question:

http://www.bpaengineering.com/

Impressive quality, support most of the historic F1 and sportscar grid but are totally at home with a basic Mk9 for a FF1600 or a saloon car box as well. Jono there also does some race weekend support for teams with their gearboxes, LMS and FIA GT and the like. They are fairly sensible on price as well.

Otherwise we have used Phil Stewart at Road and Race.

Best of luck.

With an 020 was it the diff pin that went?

I have not stripped the box yet but my guess is the pinion bearing and that destroyed the end gears. Cheers for the last few recommendations. I have been chatting with John @ Cargears in reading and am getting a good feeling from him so far.
