not at lot of help maybe, but have you considered contacting your local college?
they often will take cars in for their students to work on. Never know they may be able to do something with either of your cars at a fraction of garage costs, if any cost.

They do plenty of goodies and are reasonable.

Google them.
Scrappy would be the only place I'd be looking, now. Although try and gpost somethign in the For Sale/Wanted Section. Good folks on there.
pity it's not a landrover i've got a spare box and transfer box and diffs for a series 3 landy
Thanks for your help guys. I did try Ebay but there are very few if any Mk3 boxes around, and the local scrappers don't have anything either. I have put a post on Golf websites such as the site mentioned but again had no luck. Looks like I'm gonna have to break it and walk! :cry:
cheers anyway
ahh course forgot that!! yes its a 2.0 8v so not as desireable as ther 16v
just a long shot but maybe a audi or skoda gearbox may fit ?
Its quite a distance from you but Sandwich in kent is home to a fantastic specialist VW/Audi breakers who supplied me with an engine a while ago. If you are desperate enough to travel that far, PM me and i'll find you their number. :thumbup:
Hi there i had a mk2 gearbox go on me and found a very good chap near me in Birmingham who reconditioned it for under you like i can get you the number and address and forward it on to you if thats any help,let me know Steve01.
Try - it`s amazing what people have hidden in their garages in case it comes in useful one day.
