Ive been offered a E36 318ti compact but it has a bad crunch going in to 3rd, I'm told it need a new/second hand gearbox, is it a cheap/easy job to get one fitted??

Yes, it should cost no more than a large clutch bill, around £150, as they're dead easy to replace if you have a lift. The box itself should be around £50.

Agreed. RWD boxes are fairly simple to change, but the level of ease depends on the tools available.

A diy possibility, even if you only have decent axle stands and no ramp/ lift.
As ever, if the box is off, fit a new clutch. The clutch mech is hydraulic and it is worth bleeding the mech too. The e36 coupe & saloon share the reservoir with the brakes.
The compact is a mix of e36 and e30 parts, so double check on the box part numbers!
