Thanks Ian, that's really kind, I think the plan is for @John to bring down from Luke to Daventry area (not sure exactly where Mr Loudon lives?) and for me to collect from there. Can't remember whereabouts you are based Ian?

Any more insight into why it failed?

No idea David, Windy seems to think it has been faulty for a while, but not in anyway that has been apparent - no noises or issues shifting or anything. It was full of oil too. Only thing I can think is that the oil got too hot on track, or maybe there was some underlying issue?

Windy has put a load of photos on Facebook.

what was the history of the box?  I thought it was a high spec.  just seems strange to fail like this.

Yes it is/was a high spec. It had a full rebuild by Windy in early 2015. Quaife HD Pro straight cut gearset (exactly the same as the one you sent me a copy of the invoice for, except std casing). It's done about 650 - 700 miles, quite a few of those on a stock 170bhp XE engine. The current spec engine was fitted March/April last year. Done I think three to five trackdays, the rest just sprints and some road miles. Windy thinks it's an issue that's been there a while, but I'm not so sure, had no strange noises, was really quiet in operation, no issues with gear selection. There's no clear prognosis, just that it's rubber ducked!
