Fitment on a used gearbox varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Agila ran in two generations: the A (2000–2004) and the B (2004–2007), each built on a different platform, so gearboxes do not cross between the two generations. Within each generation, the engine code on your V5 is the key detail — a gearbox from the same generation with a matching engine code is your starting point. Always confirm the exact part with the breaker against your registration before buying.
A 2003 Agila is a first-generation model (Agila A, 2000–2004), while a 2005 Agila is second-generation (Agila B, 2004–2007), and these generations use different platforms with different gearbox designs, so a straight swap across that boundary is not expected to work. Your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — is the most reliable detail to give a breaker when sourcing within the correct generation. Confirm fitment with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
No — trim level such as Design or Expression has no effect on gearbox fitment for the Agila; these are cosmetic and equipment differences only. What matters is your engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and whether the car is manual or automatic. Give the breaker your engine code and registration and they will match the correct unit.
Engine code matters far more than year for gearbox fitment — different engines fitted to the same model year use different gearboxes, so matching by year alone risks getting the wrong unit. The engine code is stamped on the engine block and also appears on your V5C; it is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker. Year helps narrow down the generation, but always lead with the engine code.
No, diesel and petrol Agilas use different engines and therefore different gearboxes; they are not interchangeable. Make sure you specify your fuel type and engine code when requesting a quote from a breaker, as mixing these up is one of the most common sourcing mistakes. Confirm the exact match with the breaker against your registration before agreeing a purchase.
Whether a used gearbox requires any ECU pairing or immobiliser coding on the Agila is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your specific registration, as this can vary and is not something to assume either way. A good breaker will be familiar with any such requirements for the unit they are supplying. Factor this into your planning before fitting.
