Update:

My box is at Chris Coles and he has given me too options, over and above the repair work:

1) Fit a taller 5th gear. 3.88 to 3.44 which will cost around £470

2) Fit all new gear ratios from 21t (I think) which is £800 but I can offset my own cluster for £200 briinging the price down to £600.

There isn't a great deal of money between them, but my problem is I haven't driven the car yet, so it's very hard to make the choice.

The 3rd option is just to leave the ratios as they are...........but I would hate to find out that I'm travelling at 80mph on the motorway and the car is revving it's nuts off and guzzling fuel. I only want this as tractable road car - I ain't going racing in this one.

Any advice most welcome............
