(couldn't get 5th or reverse, nice crack in the casing, noisey 100 mile trip home with no oil in the box and everything crossed) and a corroded sump, hadn't been on the road for a couple of years since the gearbox let go, although had been run up and down a private road to keep everything turning over.
Gearbox replaced with a second hand one purchased through IMOC
(thanks Mika 
) and replacement sump too (gtschris ) now running sweeeet!Various checks to do then off to Blyton Park for track initiation
