Yep, ain't that the rub - they can drop them on your toes with dodgy gearboxes (only happens when warm), Cold start issues (only happens next day of course) and no scruples shown or comebacks entertained ("didn't happen to me"), but if the one they bought has a squeak coming from the parcel shelf, you're a worthless piece of crap and you get dissed all over t'interweb and reported to Trading Standards. Welcome to the retail motor trade people!

Welcome to the world of the Vauxhall M32 Gearbox !!! Whinning in 5th and 6th gear and finally the bearing goes through the gearbox casing. I think its due to the bearing overheating but maybe wrong, we have rebuilt a few as one of our trade customers buys 'Non-Running' Vauxhalls (oh Joy!!) but now prefer to just fit a recon box. It can happen at any mileage but watch out for car around the 80k mark. Also fitted to the Astravan and Vivaro (plus Renault Traffic and Nissan Primastar). Be carefull if using second hand gearboxes as a fix as I believe the ratio's are different for cars and vans. If anyone needs a recon M32 gearbox I use a company who are fantastic and slightly cheaper (about £150 ) then those who advertise on ebay and other sites. Very professional outfit and highly recommended (mainly by word of mouth) here in the South West. Happy to pass on their number if anyone wants it.
