Today was a good day for me!! I took HL to 'Dr George' (GP Landrovers at Bitteswell) for her MOT repairs and to get her transfer box looked at: As some peeps know, I've been having problems selecting and staying in low for some time now; it can be alarming, to say the least when chunk- you're suddenly freewheeling down a bl@@dy steep hil!! :shock:
With the re-opening of the hallowed ground of Kirton Lindsey a week on sunday, she had to be sorted out!
George had pre-warned me that worst case scenario would be a new (2nd hand) tranny box, which would be about £200.
I was chuffed to little mintballs (as I believe they say in the North ) when George found a grub screw in a rod (somewhere in the linkage, inside the tranny box cover) that was half a turn away from coming out completely, and allowing the rod to drop into my gearbox!!! Now THAT would have been expensive!!! :shock:
Anyway, I'm happy to say that she now goes high-neutral-low-neutral-high smoothly, with no play in the lever at all; what with that, and my all new brake drums, shoes, wheel bearing etc, she feels superb and I can't wait to get out playing again!! :(biggrin):
I must clean out my brakes after playing
