Re: 197 Gearbox's
All 197s will have them due this year or next. Ask the seller if they'll do the belts or knock £600 off the price

is it the same place i told you about?
cant imagine them being much more. £20 if anything
if it is the guy i said, youll have to take the handles off for him. (i couldnt be arsed with it so didnt get them done)
tbh i never reset the mpg and blip the throttle on every change *partly because of the noise* so now its hovering around 31... i can get a nice 36 though :)
