My bus needs to be a multifunction vehicle, and one thing I was hoping to use it for is towing a large heavy ifor williams trailer. Sometimes full of logs,sometimes a car or building materials.
Now my gearbox is knackered, so I'm in the process of taking it out and getting it upto Aiden. My VC is also shot me thinks, as after an hours drive i cannot even manoeuvre into a parking space
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Add to that my fairly powerless Tdi, and shot rear brakes (shoe coming through the rusty backing plate !)......the list goes on and on.
I'm wondering if it is all worth it of if I should just cut my losses, break the van and save myself alot of time and effort fixing and restoring.
I just can't see that there is any one vehicle that fits all my wants, and a good tow vehicle (range rover or landcruiser) is gonna be a guzzler. So I'd then need an estate car on top for family use.
If I fix it will it stand upto towing with it, or will I break the gearbox again ?
Feeling a bit dejected and wishing I had a workshop.
Cheers
Rich
