Like i said the box was brand new 3 months ago so im a little confused???? Any suggestions? cheers l.o'neill | ||

But since its the older Midland box they are know for being a little unreliable especially if they are given a hard time. Sharp gear changes and worst of all sharp down changes can strip them easily. Could look at getting the newer Getrag box instead...... MINI Project 370hp and counting... : MINIProject.co.uk | ||
