Hi all,
Was having a nice weekend away down in Yeovil for my birthday (today).
Decided to drive along the a30 to Salisbury for a mooch around.
Had to stop at the brow of a hill as a tractor got stuck turning into a green lane , I did a hill start and it seemed a bit clunky and into second was stiff then bang nothing.
Coasted down the hill to have a look in a safe place , with all kinds of grinding whining noises, and a smell of gear oil.
Net result inside bits of gearbox have made a bid for freedom and the casing is cracked .
It's only just had a new clutch in the spring and just had anew driveshaft a couple of months ago after the spring failed on that.
Does anyone have any idea of a reasonable supplier for replacement gearboxes ??
The van is currently dumped in disgrace at my tame garage.
I am fed up now as I have been looking forward to a weekend away , I wouldn't mind if I drive it like an idiot and never looked after it ...
Daniel.
