It looks like it although I can't open the door on the handle so I need to pull it apart from the inside. 

 

 

The new car is still being negotiated so I decided to pull the engine out of the 1300 Countryman to check out the primary gear whine. I was fully expecting to have to replace the transfer case but sadly it's much worse. I'm actually amazed it drove from Bristol to Newton Abbot without the transfer gears exploding through the case.

For as bad a the transfer gears whined it shifted gears superbly so I'm hoping to source another case and have all the internals swapped over. If that doesn't work out I'll take the crank from the auto engine and rebuilt a manual to go into it, hopefully I wont have to resort to that though.
