Whats the most miles you've had from a saxo gearbox?
As the title says? My saxos just hit 100k and its still on the original box 
Is this a normal thing with saxos/106's?

Mine blew up at 28k but it wasn't really the gearbox's fault. My driveshaft broke in half and went through it...

Took a while as I got pissed off and gave up. was like £150 in parts i think, you need a few special tools but you can just use mine.

Erm probably yeah if there was no fuck ups. Couldn't see a specialist will charge massively more tbh, get a few quotes. That way you would get a warranty on it as well
