I have a gearbox for you mate. 145.000 kilometres in full working order

bit of a long drive for me to come fetch it lol :)

lol changed the oil then got a eml then went away with op-com but may be down to the abs fault

found out the fault with the airbag light is cause my airbag curtains were malfunctioning
but wait i don't have airbag curtains or an airbag ecu programmed for them lol
WP_001447.jpg

they went away after unplugging the dash loom plugs and replugging them so the airbag light is off completely

i then decided to plug the alarm siren back in and thats working to well apart from the light flashing at activation and the ultrasonics not enabling
yay i fixed the light

boot switch was faulty must be the wiring broken somewhere in the lid

Sorry you had this problem Carl, surely they should refund you send them it back in bits! With the report from gear tech.

the guy on ebay is adamant the gearbox is great and 37k and was stored indoors
but have given him geartechs number so he can ask them himself then get the box back and i can have a refund :)

its also weird how the input shaft was rusty shows it was nice dry storage (my arse)

You pulling all the loom out Carl?

just pulling the bulkhead connector and washing it out with switch cleaner then re plugging if theres still a problem with the abs / tc after that it is the abs ecu :)

going to tidy up some of the loom from the original supercharger fitting its a little messy and could be better :)

large shrink tube on the extension for the main fuse block looked like it had rubbed thru a bit so this is a better solution

gearbox has been an issue for a long time but since the new engine its really gone noisy so want it to ether be quiet or get fixed :)
