    Try Traynor's up in the North as the 2.0 SDi is a very rare car in the South. VW gearboxes of that vintage were made of chocolate.

    It may not matter how rare SDI Golfs are, the gearboxes used are often common across a range of engines. But then I'm sure the breakers would know which ones are compatible as well.

    I have used www.vwaudibits.co.uk to buy a gearbox off before and found them good to deal with. You can pay over the phone with a credit card and they courier it to you the next day.

    Try Dempseys in Ballina, they deliver free to certain parts of the country particularly the west. Had a good experience with them, twice now.

    My 2000 Golf is on it's third gearbox, piece of crap. I was told that they could go as early as 30,000 miles. A certain bolt goes and game over. There is a mod I believe but the car is worth less than the gearbox at the moment.

    But cannot believe there's similar problems on the Mk5 model. You'd think VW would learn.
