Could be Sam. I'm having difficulty engaging 1st,3rd and 5th gear so may need a new one. It's going for the MOT and service tomorrow so should find out then.

How did the MOT and Service go?

A thought occurs, it might be the hydraulics or even the release arm at fault, rather than the Gearbox.

If we get a dry day anytime soon (And the Peterbilt has gone from my yard!) then I will happily offer help to see if we can resolve the issue any way you need Mattie

I'd have had these for my new 180, if you weren't ages away mate and postage will be a fortune.

Cheers Sam. Went ok and passed eventually

Failed on rear offside caliper as expected (seized and then the carrier snapped!)needed new rear discs and pads and the brake line patching up as corroded.
From what we could see the issue with 1st is the flexing of the bracket on the sheddist kit. Nothing major though and goes in eventually!
Ran out of time on the service front as I had to get the car 60 miles back home.
Advisory on front wheel bearing play and wearing on inner front tyres.
The handbrake light flickers every time I go over a bump so may need that looking at.
