Boo hiss...

The gearbox in Tigger went bang today :-(

Not happy.

Will be at Tixover still, but in a *very* non-offroad Range Rover

Maybe I will get round to doing the auto conversion that I've been considering now  :roll:

Quote from: "strapping young lad"

As I say, the total time from driving in to driving out was just under 3 days.    Main issues in the job were having to fabricate a new gearbox mount (the gearbox didn't have one with it)

All in all it was a reasonably straightforward job.


Took it for a nice spin today, up to Hereford to see the Mac 4x4 challenge boys on their way... runs very well, apart from a leak in the oil cooler pipe which managed to drip on the exhaust giving us a lovely cloud of smoke whenever we stopped  :roll:
