Hi All,
I'm new here but have been lurking as a guest for all your helpful advice!
I have a 2010 plate 1.8 petrol Exclusiv Insignia on a mere 54,000 miles which has unfortunately developed the dreaded gearbox whine in 5th and 6th gear and very very slightly in others. What is interesting is the clutch and flywheel are absolutely fine and I'm not particularity heavy footed... Also the gearbox is still silky smooth when changing gear.
Anyway, it is time for bearings replacement and the modified end case. I have obtained some quotes which some are extortionate but a friend who had the same work done has recommended a fairly local gearbox specialist that has quoted me £1050 for the work including VAT. I have seen a place in Luton will complete for £800, so my question is; is around the thousand pound mark a reasonable price for this work?
Thank you!!!
