What did you decide to do in the end?

Cheers Alex, i'll give them a call today.

I am not even going to pursue the Audi route. I was aware of the risks and just think I have been unfortunate to have broken a gearbox as there are many others running similar power and some running even more with Stage 3 on the standard gearbox.

How did this happen and how long to diagnose? On the face of it this would seem like an easy fix.

I was out on Sunday and attempted to overtake a slow driver and all of a sudden lost power, car went into limp mode, EPC light came on and the car sounded a bit Subaru-esque. I switched off, waited a few mins and then back on again... No EPC light... (phew). I started driving and it was fine...
