My current estate is just shy of 240k, cost me £500, sailed through its MOT after 6 months of me owning it and generally hasn't missed a beat.
Anyway back on topic, HDi gear boxes can be had from about £30 if you know where to go but for a low mileage one off ebay itll be about £100-£150. While the gearbox is off you would be as well having the clutch done as its only 6 more bolts and a genuine valeo one is less than £100. that way you have the peace of mind that the clutch isn't going to give up next week.
The gearboxes on these cars do go if they dont have their oil changed and if they have huge mileages or are tuned, Ive stripped 5th out of a few gearboxes.
