Found a garage in forest gate east london can get recon done on 1.9 tdi auto box for £750 also they can deliver box anywhere in country, if you cant get to them, for £750 exchange unit. resonable price considering what main dealer want. reverse band they do for £599 all in 02082211633 hope that helps

If this is an older 4 speed unit then chances are water has got into the computer. Water runs down the bonnet shut and onto the computer(TCU) next to the battery. Ford fix for this was an extra shield in the bonnet shut. Before buying another computer try and borrow one. It can be placed alongside yours just to try it. If you have jump started then that could also have wrecked the TCU.
