Gearbox doesn't need to be fully removed, but it needs to be unbolted and moved away from the engine enough to give access to the hidden bolts.

i think if i was LionJag i would take the engine out
Do =cambelt/waterpump/balance chain/turbo off+clean/new clutch + wotever else looks iffy
I would too but I don’t think LionJag does the mechanical work. Finding somebody who is competent enough to do that at an affordable price is going to be a tall order.
How is Liv?
Decent used sump £50 eBay. Cheaper to take a big hammer to it. Retrieve the bit held by the two screws once the chain is fixed.
Never thought I would write something like that but the figures stack up.
Thankfully she's in good hands now, are the previous garage replacing the wheel caps stolen while 'secure'? Best of luck with the repairs (to both).Hi everyone
Apologies for the late update. In actual fact, there was no real update. Work commitments meant that I wasn't able to sort anything out with Liv until Thursday. She was delivered on a transporter to an A2 specialist who can successfully diagnose and, hopefully, repair the damage without it costing me a fortune!
I'm glad she's in safe hands. While waiting for a diagnosis at the initial garage, where I was assured she would be left secure at night, Liv was left on a dark street with the driver's window fully open (it rained last week in Birmingham) and all four of her wheel caps were stolen...
And the boiler at my home went kaput yesterday. If anyone has any recommendations on decent boiler cover and repair for a Worcester Bosch, I'd be glad of any assistance.
I look forward to my little break away next week. I need the rest, believe me...
