Hi there.
Just to say have managed to squeeze a full refund out of the ebay bloke who sold me the 220TE with a duff gearbox (wouldn't go above 2nd gear until warm, gearbox oil changed last year and was up to near max)!! Was worried I'd be stuck with it but he was pretty reasonable - first and LAST time I'll buy a car on ebay!! Gonna stick with my other 220TE and get busted sphere / bushes / heater fan sorted and keep it. Engine, gearbox, body etc fine so probably the way to go...
Thanks to those reading / answering my cries for help with the gearbox prob.
