Hi there Metrics

Like I said in my earlier post the smoothness of the gearbox improved, and all is still well in the 7k of miles I have now driven since the gearbox service.
I did print out the instructions but Tom knew the exact procedure anyway.

I would also recommend you change the diff oil at the same time, you will need the diff oil, I used Castrol Syntrax Longlife Oil 75W-90, 1 Liter approx £15 (amazon), and a new diff plug.
I cannot remember the cost of the plug but it would have been less than £10 for a genuine plug from a dealer.
There is no sump so the old oil needs to be extracted by pump and the new oil also pumped in, this is a fairly cheap preventative maintenance routine and I intend to replace mine every 30k.

TGM will look after you well, and if you're lucky you may see some rather nice race cars in being prep'd. I certainly would go nowhere else now, even for tyre fitting.
