Shipping parts or Suzuki Jimny Transmission

[melhookv12]

Does anyone know what's involved in shipping parts from the Uk to Aus. My uncle is in Darwin and has asked me to look out for an Auto gearbox for his 1.3 Suzuki Jimny.

I've phoned one firm and they said it's very complicated and you need a specialist company to do it.

Alternatively does anyone have or know where to get an Automatic transmission for a 2007 1.3 Jimny ?

He's had it looked at and its beyond economical repair.

TIA

Thanks for the replies.

He said he spent a day phoning around trying to get one.
I've been quoted around £1000/$2100 just for the box without shipping.

I'm sure there must be Suzuki breakers there that can beat that. I'll have another chat with him. He's based up near Darwin in the back of beyond.

The cheapest way is if you actually take the freight to your local airport cargo centre, all the main agent's have depots there ie Davis Turner, palapina, swissport etc just give them a call with weight and dimensions and they will quote you also state that it will be collected from them in Darwin saves lots of fees.

Thank. Can I just turn up or do I need to book in ?
