Peugeot Boxer 1998 petrol 5 speed Gearbox rebuild
Well it was getting very crunchy and draggy , particularly 1st - 2nd , 3rd - 2nd and sometimes back into 1st.
Checked all the relevant fora , owners clubs etc and realised that it would be a difficult job.
We live in Surrey , called local specialists , then London and spoke to about twelve different rebuilders countrywide.
Rocking horse poo , Lord Lucan on Shergar etc , getting desperate but found Gloucester Road Gearboxes of Bristol : http://www.grgb.org.uk/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=CPC&utm_campaign=Infoserve
Gave them a call , Gent said we do these for several dealers , knew about the synchro problems and said “ we have all the bits in stock “ , and will do a rebuild.
Dropped the Peugeot Autosleeper off on the friday 31/03/2017 , went through problems and off home. Phone call monday , full rebuild all internals , bearings synchro's etc and given a price.
Called me tuesday , all done and tested , collected wednesday 05/04/2017 .
Hitched up trailer and headed for M32 , M4 and home to Surrey. Gearbox proved faultless all the way home.
So great job , slightly cheaper than quoted price.
Treated to a look around their premises , nice workshops , clean and tidy , well equipped.
None of you guys know me , I assure you all I have no connection whatsoever to Guildford Road Gearboxes. Just a happy customer.
Thanks so much to them for a good and quickly expedited job , and thanks to you all for your patience in reading this.
Follow up 8/5/2017
Drove van for first time since returning from rebuild.
Trip down to Weymouth via M3 , as the M27 to A31 was closed we followed the diversion and got to our destination.
Trip back was similarly disrupted as M3 was closed , so a diversion around the houses , once again returned home , the rebuilt gearbox was faultless.
Thanks Gloucester Road Gearboxes , could not be happier with the job and even happier to give this positive report.
