Well second time its been on the recovery so far lol (both gearbox related)
Some how the gearbox extension inbetween the gearbox and transfer box had lost a nut and the rest are loose so it lost all the gearbox oil down the motorway, lovley mess it made under there now, called the recovery people and waited for 40 min till the truck turned up, whilst i was talking away to my mate i was not paying attention to the guy using the hoist to pull the car up and it was all in park and handbrake was fully on, he relised that after hoisting and wasnt moving at all, so he jumped in and pulled the park out and i heard a loud clung noise from the gearbox, didnt think much of it till i got it moved today onto my drive, great, they will be getting a call from me tommrow now
Also how hard is it to get at the park pawl? cheers
