>Depends on how much stuff needed swapping from one box to the other.
the intended swap of the box for a Rangie one was aborted early one 'cos the
selectors are different, which was found out early on in the process once
the box was out. I then sourced a recon box, and did all the t-box swapping
and so forth. so not much.
>Did the transfer box need to come off for any reason?
not with them, no.
sequence of events at the garage went like this:
1. remove box
2. remove gear lever from existing box
3. remove gear lever from Rangie box
4. find that they won't swap
5. phone me, and tell me.
6. replace gear lever on Rangie box so it could be taken back
they then had a gap over friday and the weekend while I hunted a box and
delivered same first thing monday (about 7:30), assembled and pretty much
ready to fit.
7. remove old clutch, fit new clutch
8. replace gearbox
9. fill oils.
10. replace reversing light switch which arrived just at the very end of the
job. (about 10 minutes-worth, at most)
7-10 took them over a day. Why, I have no idea.

hmmm. Labour charge 300 plus vat. I reckon it's a ****-take.
