it looks like im stuck with the old bus as i can not sell it so i might aswell repair it and use it as its not a bad car its growing on me a bit of a hippy car/tree hugers a bit of me its been to france 3 times with a caravan with no probs anyway i have had close look at the pice of cast that broken of the gearbox o/s drive shaft pice and all it dose is drive a black plastic sleave for the speedo and thats it it dose not connect to any thing eles so i think it will be ok to put it back in ok the speedo will not work but hey if anyone thinks diffrent let me know and i will get second hand gearbox but i have no transport to collect so would have to be local regards gaz

..... except the oil seal.

In it's current condition, that box is scrap.

its down and left and a turbo diessel / there is no oil seal just bearings and case and there is a grove next to the bearing case to let oil get to the black plastic sleave to drive the speedo hence oil on the plastic sleave when i removed it thats why there is no oil seal because there is no need as oil passes anyway regards gaz

I`d have thought about £10 at the most mate, Telford is about 55 miles from here I think.
There`s no rush on my behalf btw, I need to get the engine out of my estate and the new one fitted before I can do too much alse anyhow.

Hows about this for a plan. Cavmad provides the gearbox, I come over to Chester, pimp a ride to Telford and lets get the bleedin box in.

Anyone else up for this? The more the merrier

Sounds like a very good plan Ken and I`m game for it. If we can persaude others to help I`ll donate the box free of charge.
Ken, I`ll pm you shortly as I have a money maker for you (if you`re interested) should you be happening this way.

Ok, to further the plan, I'll be popping back to visit Chesters finest to lend a hand with the engine swop, if the timing works out, we could do that, then flit over and wham the box in the hurricane??

Cheers
