Bloody car....again!!!! Help :(

**Vikingxl** · Tuesday 22nd February 2011, 22:28

Might be cheaper in the long run to buy a pair of goats and a cart??

**Vikingxl** · Tuesday 22nd February 2011, 22:37

Is it a manual or an auto box you need?

**Vikingxl** · Tuesday 22nd February 2011, 22:45

Just another quick thought can someone with european recovery not post you their card and then you pretend to be them and get transported back? MIght be a really crap idea but ive never used european recovery so not sure how it works but im sure someone will

I think that'd be ok if the car was still on a UK reg. May be difficult explaining why I want a French reg'd car rescued from France and taken back to the UK

The goat cart is looking like a good option! Do you know if they come with air bags and sips mate? Safety first and all that lol

M56 has been sourced and acquired by ChrisS70T5

Second time you've sorted a transmission for me, thanks mate!

Thanks to everyone for input and offers of help

Hopefully I'll be able to get back to UK soon to get the sucker fitted!

**Vikingxl** · Thursday 24th February 2011, 08:47

Nice job Chris

**S70T5Chris** · Thursday 24th February 2011, 17:45

No worries, it wasn't just me though. James had hand in it, and I called in a few favors from at least 3 of the nasty boys from T5D5! LOL!

Now I'm getting slightly concerned lol

**S70T5Chris** · Tuesday 1st March 2011, 11:00

Le gearbox dans me garage. lol.

**GazT4R** · Tuesday 1st March 2011, 15:50

No worries on sorting the box out, I was going to keep it for a manual conversion sometime in the future but someone was obviously more in need so passed it onto Chris for Jerry.
It did a fair old journey around the country via the courier service. I was in Notts for my birthday seeing some friends and having a break so picked up the box from Mark who was selling it, it then headed over to Chorley where we broke another car on the Saturday and met up with Warren who took it back down to Chris.
If you need a hand on change day give me a PM on the nasty forum Chris

Thanks for all your efforts Gaz, really appreciated mate.

Sorry for not replying sooner, but I've been in hospital since last Friday eve...got rushed in with peritonitis caused by a perforated intestine; was in a bad way for a few days and it was touch n go for the first 24hrs...so all the effort for the gearbox might have been wasted lol!
I live to fight another day

It may be a little while before I can get back to UK now though guys, as I'm on heavy meds for at least three weeks

May not be on the forum that much either.

Just take it slowly and let the treatment get to grips with the problem. Hope you feel brighter soon!
