I would allow for a rebuild gearbox if i were you its done 150k so due one anyway so a grand at least if you get Aiden to do it for you and do the oil plates at the same time.

I've had the popping out of gear problem for the past three years, the gears haven't got any worst, I just have to hold it in gear when starting off, however I would still factor in an extra grand for a rebuild, still worth it if the rest of the van is cosher.
