I paid 615 Eu . ZF Austria.

Hi Nino - thanks - I am thinking about the ZF rep in Romania or even Budapest on the way back home.
You live in a really stunning place - spent some time working with Hutova Blato.... is there still the really good fish reastaurant in Caplina? Herzegovina should be on everyone's travel list. Series 2a LWB Hardtop - ex British Aerospace that was then used in an armed robbery! not by me!

GavinBell,

yes the restaurant is still open. are you ornithologist? (Hutovo blato).

I would check ZF in Bucharest and Budapest by phone first to see if they do car transmissions. When I was looking to replace fluid in my trany i check with ZF in Belgrade and Zagreb and they were doing only big trucks and heavy machinery.

Nino,

I would stop off at one of the many ZF Gearbox centres in Germany on the drive home

Could be an idea - it will be about getting the timing right.
