The car had driving nicely without too many problems for the last few months, but on 2nd June 2019 the gearbox decided it was time to self-destruct whilst driving in the early hours of the morning.
I managed to coast the car around the corner from the high-street onto a kerb, where I left it until I could get it recovered the following morning.
Once I had the car recovered home I decided it was time to take the car off the road for a while and invest some real time and money into keeping it on the road in the future. I drained the gearbox, which was about a week old and it was full of tiny metal flakes – that can’t be a good thing!
The car is going to require a new gearbox and clutch, and will also require welding in a number of areas.
