Rubbish Van dealers or is just mine.

Stupid vans..

I was at a major roundabout the other Saturday morning minding my own business in my 2005 Combo on my way to get half a tank of diesel (I never fill up due to weight) when my gear stick went all floppy and flopping about all over the place I could only engage 3rd gear. I managed to rev my way out and limped round the corner to the garage I normally take it, they were closed so I made arrangments for a lift home but had to wait an hour so I watched a You tube video on my gear linkage and was able to fix it, a plastic arm had popped off its ball joint!

Oh yes I remember that now, I thought my gearbox had fallen off or something, I got a new knock off linkage off ebay for £3.50

Had the same with the gear linkage on a Ford Transit tipper ......travelled 300 miles down from the North and we just happened to be not long off the M25 when it happened.......crapped my pants.

My transit connect was in Ford a few times early on under warranty for electronic gremlins. They were 110% useless.
It was like dealing with bored, slightly stupid children.
Now I use a local garage and they sorted everything out first time with a simple re-programme.
