how much is a gearbox to replace??? big job? are they expensive to buy?

Its a 2000 W reg 1.2 8v just trying to weigh up weather its worth repairing or not really..needs some welding too so im not too pleased

cheers
 
£150-200 for a box.
3-4 hours labour to fit.
£10 box oil.

May as well do the clutch while you've got the box off, extra £40-80.
 
so all together could be a £300 job :( plus the welding, plus the suspension, plus the coolant leak, plus the handbrake cable, plus the fan......think I might have to give it a miss
 
Selling it fixed will be better than selling it broken.

You'll get nothing for it if it's broken tbh, especially if it needs welding.

More like £400 with clutch done.
 
Its not the best or most honest way todo it but fix up what you can and the obvious things that are wrong with it and part ex it to a garage.

When i swapped my car they didnt even look at my part ex (there was nothing wrong with it anyways but they didnt know that!) he checked all the panels were straight and no dings on them and that was it. They were going to auction it so they dont care.
 
well to be honest I havent got the money to do a trade in and ive got a 106 sat on the drive (was meant to be selling it but Im lazy and never got round to it) so its a good job I didnt get rid!!! looks like Im going to be driving that. Just needs some tax and Im away.
In its current state I should get £150-200 for the punto...hopefully - I just dont have the money to fix it although I wish I did as I really like it.
