Nice to see those members helped you out. I've been stuck a few times and thanks to such helpful advice on here, I've always gotten to the bottom of it.

Happy motoring

Sweet. So glad you got the old girl up and running. Siamblue has also helped by removing the original gearbox....

However, you forgot to congrtulate one more person. ANd that person would be you and actually your brother, for going where very few people have gone before; taking the gearbox apart and doing all that work on it. Very very few people here would actually do what you did. So well done and I wish you trouble free motoring for the future.

Glad you've got it back on the road.


Not sure why your thanking me, as I'm quite certain that any contributions I have made towards your particular problem have been about as usefull as a chocolate fire guard, but your welcome anyway.
