Cap duly doffed ,  I hope the god of wonky gear selector rods smiles hugely upon you  

[bub2006]

I'm hoping the smashing fella from Stockport way knows more than me! I'm most grateful

[trigger]

A stranger on the internet is willing to drive 1 1/2 hours to come to your rescue out of kindness? Again. Personally I'd say your the luckiest bloke on here

[bub2006]

I understand that trigger. Means a lot too

[mrbenn]

Good luck with it, Bub.

 

Cap well and truly doffed to Junkman!

[fatharris]

Junkman, you have my respect.

 

Top man.

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No, it's a haunted Rover P6

 

 

Seriously though, top effort Junkman.

What a wonderful thing to do.

[warren t claim]

With your luck you'd probably catch herpes of a secondhand porn mag.

 

Hope you get home ok.

I've just got out the cab and stood on a street corner in a minions wooly hat looking slightly suspect. 40 quid in taxi fares alone tonight. That would have bought the bits needed for vectra. Oh well such is life. Awaiting the great junkmans arrival now. Its chuffing cold here!

[Ben_O]

Good luck sorting it.

 

and well done Jumkman for coming to his aid. Mucho respect.

[forddeliveryboy]

Never easy being rescued... chin up fella - your forebears will have been through worse!

[bub2006]

No crashes this time is a bonus,someone still hates me though!

Had my shite in 2001 Roof blew of my flat, got Pneumonia, work went slack had to sell my Vennie , sell up my shit and back to base one at parents house in a little box room  

 

we have all had it

[bub2006]

Right. Quick update. Nothing to report as such,looking more internal than linkages. I've never been so happy to see a Peugeot 405! Towed ne home fine. Really really appreciate it Mr junkman. Really smart motors are them 405s.

[warren t claim]

May I recommend breakdown recovery for any future journeys?

[bub2006]

That is the next port of call me claim!

[fred]

Hope thee is all home and safe mate  

[bub2006]

I am,hoping junkman is too.

[PhillipM]

. I don't think I've ever seen a saxo that actually broke the gearbox, it's always the links.

This would be the MA box, the one known as the 'Chocolate Teapot'...oh they break, they break a lot..I was on my 3rd in the 306....

 

I do have one here that's in great nick, unfortunately it's the single linkage version

[Junkman]

Chronology of events.

 

Some essential tools were packed.

 

 

Sadly it wasn't exactly a Thunderbird that was a go.

 

 

Met Bub in Matlock. Quick check revealed that his is indeed the first Sacksow of EVAH that shat its gearbox.

All the linkages are fine, they move stuff at the gearbox etc., but no gear engages. Looks like something inside the box is broken.

 

Hence towage to the Bub towers in Ripley.

Then, between Ripley and Stockport, tonight a 405 estate was observed in low altitude flight. The Turkish Air Force claims it was in Turkish airspace, which it wasn't, I swerz.

Had a bit of a dogfight with two Murat and an Anadol fighter planes, but thanks to the shitty weather, they abandoned pursuit.

 

I'm home now and have this:

 

 

IMO well deserved.

 

I think there are a lot of people around this here forum who would have done the same thing.

Top geezer!
