panic over now they have opened it and checked it (please god not opened the gearbox) and are now charging it we will see if they try to over tax it

Not a lot! TBH, when parcel force say it's "Stuck" at customs what they mean is it's progressing through Customs. Do you have a tracking number? If so check it every few hours on the parcel force website, the number will have changed to a UK tracking number, there's nothing wrong with importing a gearbox (I just received mine, all through customs with no issues relating to what it was), what you'll probably get though its a customs charge. UK customs can identify a lot of the Asain E-sellers so when the sender puts $5 gift they disreguard that and go with market value! I import toys regularly from China with the same issue, sometimes you're lucky though! Don't worry about it mate, they won't take it apart!
