Just had gearbox changed and has a whine :s

Been out in car and it also rattles/vibrates like f**k at around 6-7k, turning right and letting off causes the whole NS suspension to feel liek its going to fall off!
Turns out RSB are MATT BLACK's breakers who I thought were meant to be quite a credible seller?
Even if I do get new box under the 3 month warranty I'm still going to have to pay teh f**king labour charges which I definitely think is not fair as was sold a "good" box!
If anyone can tell I'm f**king fuming as now will probably be without the car for another week and now nearly two months f**king wages!

MORE INFO!!!
It turns out as he sent me a cup gearbox instead of the one on the invoice which is a Ph1 box, that all the driveshafts are there for not the right type!
Can someone confirm that Ph1 shafts are different to Ph2? I now have the number of the guy that gave me the bow from MATT BLACK so I shall call him tomorrow, but I'm now over a grand out of pocket!

Speedo works fine. I know the shafts don't effect the whine.
The knuckles on my Ph2 shaft wouldn't fit onto the Ph1 shaft so we just put the Ph2 shaft striaght in the Ph2 Gearbox. Then the Ph1 shaft now sounds like it is knocking and is a little bit loose in the box!
I think its all to do with size of knuckles that go into the box :s

when buying second hand boxes, ALWAYS have them stripped and rebuilt, ok it'll cost you £250 (give or take) but look what happens if you don't
it happened to me once on a customers car, he supplied a 2nd hand box and i suggested it be inspected before fitting, but he insisted, turned out the trilobe bearing had been smashed in a crash, dropped all its needle bearing inside the box and totalled that box

Thats what happened to my original box and it hadn't even been crashed.
Apart from the 1st gear thing now turns out the diff is fucked too causing the lumpy banging on right lock under no drive.
TWO f**king THINGS!
Rang the scrappy today and said they can strip it down and replace the bearing for free but will not cover costs as "thats what you get buying a second hand one"
I may just get the original box refurbed fullly possibly with an LSD and then fit that and sell the other gearbox on afterwards.
Can someone point me in the direction of somewhere that refurbs boxes for £250 as I have someone that will do it for £500, but is this a get what you pay for thing again?
Cheers

Nevermind 
Garage got the arse into gear and will be ready for me and fitted before next weekend! Good turnover IMO!
The breakers will not give me a full refund despite sending me a faulty gearbox, I'm sure there is something trading standards wise involved in this. My boss has said to contact my credit card company to try and retract the money and they can sort it out. If anyoneknows about any of these and the right lines to do it please contact me. Many thanks
