L14MWY, what updated box did they fit? There are only two boxes for the 1st Gen ONE/Cooper, the troublesome midland, (which I'm assuming is the one you've had replaced), and the Getrag. Swapping from one to the other is a big job, and certainly isn't something a MINI dealer would touch, especially under a good will deal. I believe 1320autos do it, but don't know of anyone else. You sure they did what you asked for?

L14MWY · Oct 18th, 2007, 09:57 AM

absolutely positive, yeah i meant midlands, it had a midlands in there and got a getrag one put in, they definately did it cos i was in teh garage at the time having a look, was awful beforehand, soudned liek a bag of s*it rollin down the road. came out fresh gearbox, absolutely mint.

When you have a midland box changed at a dealer what you get is a refurbed midlands box. I speak from experience
