Re: Oh no... I reckon my GearBox has just died!

thanks for the offer Billy, but I'm in Epsom so I think thats a bit of a big 'pop' for you! Have found a VW CamperMan near Betchworth who hopefully might be able to do something - unless anyone has any better/cheaper ideas!

It is with quivering hand and an impending sense of dread that I write the following... Had a slightly floppy clutch issue developing recently and then suddenly last night there was a dreadful grinding, clunky sound and Kevin the Campervan stopped moving.

I wired it in just as the old one was, black to black (on the iso unit) and wired the yellow and red to the wire from the battery = nothing happened. worried a) that I've blown my new...
