White 2.5 165k xm exclusive p reg in good order maybe on its way back in stock.
Sold by us several times over the years so i have history on this car.Not 100% certain but will keep you posted,ring me if interested.[requires mot work-parts now here].

Ive got a perfectly good tct box Malcolm which would be a shame to break up..

i have though got a v6 12v auto box that has a snatch between 3rd and 4th gear.. if the box is any good for the valve block let me know.. it will never go back in again...

Hi all, this may be of some interest to you.

Hello Robert,
I don,t need a full gearbox only the valve block assembly,fits under the square pan on the top of the box.
Need to alter the gearchange speed on one of our mk2 diesels. from 38mph down to approx 32mph.Always horrible on the mk2 box,waiting for the 2ed gear to change.
Hard work when running in towns

I am only offering the valve blocks.

Isn't the governor what dictated the gear change speed?

No, the governer is just a hydraulic speed sensor, the valve block takes this hydraulic signal combined with its factory settings to determind gear change points. Ask anyone who has tried putting a petrol block in a derv or vise versa.
