Hi all, wish I was joining under better circumstances, but feeling rather deflated.
We have a Hymer, driving home at the weekend, dropped down from 5th to 4th gear, and it made a strange tone, tried third, similar, like a bit more 'grindy/noisy than usual'. So went back up to 5th and it seemed ok. Managed a couple more miles in 5th, then needed a lower gear, so back to 4th, same noise, then some clunking noises. :/ Tried 3rd, same thing and clunky, so pulled over. Had it towed home.
Trying to sort out what to do now, diagnosis isn't totally clear yet, sounds like the gearbox has got a problem though! It also seems like they don't make the gear/parts for these anymore. I suspect I'll need to find a refurbished one, has anyone else managed to locate one? Or any other ideas?
Thanks.
