A few questions, advice needed please

<< < (3/3)

Rich_P:
No, and you know what I'm talking about.  Gearboxes will break from wear and tear anyway.  But the logic you're applying with that argument is as follows:

If the gearbox can handle a standard 2.25, then surely it must be able to handle a limitless amount of power without failure.


Now as you can see, that's a load of rubbish.  ;)

I've come across more Series motors that have had gearbox failures in a relatively short amount of time than ones that have not.  I've given my thoughts on the matter and as such having nothing more to add now.

Les Henson:
BHP of a series engine is 62 and a 200TDi is 111 - that's why the gearboxes go (eventually). Of course - careful use of the throttle and condition of the gearbox are a big factor.


Les.

Fluffle-Valve:
It's the same as with any motor vehicle from any walk of life. Treat it with respect and it's going to last you a lot longer than it would if you didn't.
