1.4 meridian gearbox West mids

[custom-decals2012]

Hi in desperate need of a 1.4 meridian gearbox in West Midlands as close to Coventry as possible.
Thanks

I've not got a gearbox but I was after one some time ago yet all the ones on EBay were stupid money. I ended up getting a 206 1.4 box for £20. Ratios not exactly the same, but close. Only need to swap the top brackets over and it fits like a glove.

Might be an option. I can give the gearbox code off mine if you want.

Yes please, I thought the gear selectors were different and the driveshaft lengths.

Also hydraulic clutch on 206s unless it's only the bigger engine ones?

106 and saxo 1.4 boxes also fit though. You can also fit a VTR box but the ratios are a lot longer apparently.

I went through a few 1.4 'boxes back in the day! Decided I'd rather spend more on fuel for a 1.8 that keep fixing unreliable 1.4s in the end.

20CF08 is the one from the 206 1.4. I think the only difference is 3rd is slightly taller.

As I mentioned, swap over the top mounting bracket, and the little bracket at the back of the diff casing (a gear linkage mounts to this - I only found out they were slightly different after I had fitted the new box!). No hydro clutch either. I ripped mine from a 33k 206 in the scrappy, should be good for a while.....
