2007 998Cc Aygo - Need To Find A Replacement Gearbox....

[peterfoster]

I wonder if anyone would kindly please hold my hand with this so I might avoid naively falling into what most would consider to be an obvious trap.

My daughter has a 2007 998cc Aygo manual which has covered 70,000 miles. It developed a noise recently so I asked my mechanic guy to put it up on the ramp and take a look at it hoping it was just the exhaust vibrating. I'm told the exhaust is fine and that the noise emanates from the gearbox which needs to be replaced. I asked my mechanic whether we could "immediately do nothing" as they say and he told me it might last another 6 months but would get progressively worse.

My mechanic isn't able to source a replacement unit for me but he will fit one if I can obtain a replacement. I've looked on eBay and the prices seem to range from £125 to £600. Some sellers offer a warrant, some don't. Bearing (get it....) in mind the car is probably worth no more that £2500 (with a fully functioning gearbox) how should I approach this? Thanks.
