OK - LOL, so I was wrong (wouldn't be the first time now would it) 
But regardless - the garage should've done the oil etc when repairing/fixing/replacing

Finally 2day
i got this,
after 4 days of e-mails
& waiting 5 weeks before that...
Barry,
We have fresh stock of gearboxes coming from Japan.
The container ships today,
Tuesday and will be here in about a month. One of the problems that I face, is that the older boxes coming in are all worn out and to guarantee to get a better one for you is not easy.
With fresh low mileage stock from Japan we will have the bases covered and should be able to get you sorted once and for ever.
Remind me at the end of October and we'll have you in and get it done while you wait and drink our coffee.
Kind regards XXX

Had the work done in APRIL!!!
And e-mail once a week for 4 months,
PHIL (the boss) STEPHENS got involved,
the 5 more e-mails sent & was told he would get back to me,
then e-mailed him FRI/SAT/SUN nite/MON
& got that reply today.
Warrennette will be out of date when it finally gets fitted.
Hope he dont charge me XTRA (as been told he had done that a few time to people)

This is us Baz is talking about and as I have said all along - The unit is covered by a warranty and will be dealt with under warranty - no matter when and at no cost. How many times do I have to say that ??
This box in Baz's car is quite an old version, one that we don't get too many of these days and I felt it better that we put a whole different box in under warranty - rather than repair the one in there.
SO, when a fresh stock of gearboxes arrive from Japan in about 3-4 weeks time we will get one checked over, rebuilt if necessary and call the car in for fitting.
It has gone on a while I agree, but we have never said anything less than: it will be done at no cost, no matter when. So eventually, Baz will have another box in there with a fresh 6 months warranty.
Nothing to hide from me, this is an unusual one for us, where time has come and gone, with us not being able to guarantee to supply anything better than he has already. The synchro is poor but otherwise the box works fine and Baz is not being inconvenienced by being unable to use the car.
Late October early November should see the problem resolved.
AT NO COST to Baz. [ Sort of getting fed up of saying that
