   these aren't the easiest to come across and sometimes you'll get fiddled by the scrappies (as some have found), get hold of the right numbers and go searching yourself, and as said, ebay, scrappies or rallye reg are your best bet, if you fail on the S1 box, consider the 1.4 xsi box.

   Get on rallye register, post there in the 'Wanted' section and someone may have one lying around.
   
   I'd get it reconditioned before fitting tbh, as these are quite old boxes.

   these boxs are really old now so probs need a refurb, get the code for teh box (posted on here in the other s1 box thread)
   
   if getting it from scrappy get the code first as they will send you the wrong box, or grind the code off like they did with my s box.
   
   Failing that get a 1.4 xsi box as recommended.
   
   I have an s2 box my self to fit
