There I was merrily driving down the M23 in the foggy dark, when I went to change gear and my gear stick snapped, I quietly said oh dear to myself , due to 3 small children on back seat.
I got home through fluke and gentle mutterings.
Tomorrow will go and see damage!
anyone got a spare gear stick?!
Also saw white tintop on roundabout on m23 junction 10, at about 6pm, in fog didn't wave as was still internally angry, so hi, if you are reading this


has this ever happened to anyone, should I be worried, going to have a beer and have some quuality time with my haynes manual!

any help would be grateful received

where do you live? If in the northwest i can give the address of a T25 breaker up near Accrington

They are only £80 new from VW, and you will have a branch near you that can order one.
Fairly frequent occurance, snapped sticks.

Can you advice if its a early gear stick ie 2ltr Aircooled van .Or later model van .I have a gear stick and mounting box spare for early 2ltr Aircooled.Not to far from you in Surrey.

van is 1.6 diesel lump vintage 1990.



I just noticed your in bookham.....I grew up in epsom, my sister went to therfield, cousins to the howard (as did a past boyfriend!) family still live there where abouts are you

Have PM you.

camper,
re pm.
can't find it! please resend!

common occurance you can't weld them either, think you need to get a specific diesel one as petrols not compatible but i'm not 100% on that one

Yes they can be welded. ,drill out and pin then weld up, done it many times, takes 1/2 hour once its off
