Hi, Just been offered a 56 plate A150 5 speed manual from a mate as he lost 3rd gear, garage quoted him £1600 to have the gearbox rebuilt and £600 in labour which sounds a little pricey to me! then had the cheek to offer him £150 for the car. anyway, we were chatting and he said he'd probably have taken £500, so i offered him £500. Supposed to be collecting it on tuesday smile

I've been having a look on the bay for a gearbox and found one at £650, but noticed the A160 box from an older car is around £100.

So, would the older W168 box fit the newer W169? They look identical in the pics i've seen, and can fit it myself so wouldn't be paying labour (if it fits)

Thanks guys :-)
