Logistics of gearbox refurb



Any ideas how to go about this for somebody who pretty much has a mechanical limit of changing a wheel, air filter or topping up oil?

I've been given a few places that can do the work on my gearbox, but obviously it needs to come out, be sent off, then be re-fitted again. The chances of that happening by myself are less than zero. How do people who aren't confident of doing that work go about getting that all sorted? I guess I need to find a garage (local-ish) who can remove it, send it off, hang on to my car for a few days then re-fit it. I also want my cambelt, dephaser etc done, so looking at a fairly hefty/expensive amount of work for a place willing to take it on.

I'm in Wiltshire so somewhere remotely local would be useful, the car still runs (potentially without 5th) but I don't want to be driving too far.

  Whichever has fuel
Give me some money (i'll do you a good deal) and i'll come and get it on the truck and deliver it anywhere you want. (ie a specilaist on here)

You then get a lift from the wife when its fixed.

Simples.
 
If you have a garage, go for it yourself, I've new changed a set of discs or changed my oil (yet) but I took my gearbox out myself. It's pretty easy when you apply some common sense and there is a guide on here to help. I'm sure there will be a local member who could help for some beer tokens! If it goes tits up, put it back together and get Daniel to come pick it up! Nothing ventured nothing gained!
 
Take up Daniels offer and get it to btm don't know if Fred does gearbox rebuilds but he can probably send it off to agency whilst he does the belts etc.

Well I meant for the box as no idea if they have tools for belts, but pretty sure one of them is ex-renault anyway, so maybe.
