Have a chat to Roly about his 3L experience... Long story short 5th gear died at 45K and engine at 80K he knew the service dept by name ;) The box problem was associated with loads such as towing for prolonged periods i.e. freeway towing. Whereas the engine issues were oil circulation related. This problem was fixed by GUII upgrade... also this issue is well documented as it was quite well spead so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding info (or disgruntled customers!)
