Struggling to change gear whilst driving. Any ideas

  1. It was this, conduit snapped off torsion tube plus one of the bolts that hold the bracket to the gearbox had snapped. I put the new cable in but could do not much else. It needs to be up in the air to drill and re tap the thread, I didn't have a drill or tap with me but if I did doubt I could of drilled it straight laying in a field.

  3. Now awaiting rac to take me to someone with ramps, who can drill old bolt and re tap. Plus weld bracket
     
  4. Gutted first proper breakdown in 17 yrs ownership! Although not my first time on a low loader
     
  5. Keep trying to post photos, but tapatalk fails each time!
     
  6. Paul is back on the road, local garage drilled out the broken bolt and fitted new, welded other end of bowden tube back on. Sorted :):)

  7. All sorted. Bracket thing welded back on. Old bolt drilled out, New bolt in. Plus of course the New Clutch cable that our very own Mick fitted earlier!

    Thanks to everyone for helping

  13. No one of the speaker covers has already fallen off at least once. I was going to cut short the holiday, but luckily was able to fix this myself using skills I learned at techenders !
