Well after not being able to open bonnet i stopped at a garage this morning and they told me i definately need a new gear box. Sod that i thought so i drilled the lock and had a look and discovered that one of the gear selector cables had popped off the ball joint so i pushed it back on and i had all gears again, a bit of sitting there changing gear to check it was still okay it wouldn't change out of 4th again so i had a look under the bonnet and the cable had come loose again. Quick look on google and the cables are less than 80 quid a pair so that should be that sorted soon enough!!

Where's Dom and Melinda doing a story on cowboy garages??

When you change them remember to lube the selector shaft!

Lucky you did'nt leave the van at the garage...new gearbox:yikes:

Yep, didn't even ask any questions about what happened before it went, just said "need a new box pal"

How easy was the bonnet lock to drill out? The reason I ask is my mates won't open and he needs to put screen wash in!

To be honest Bri i didn't have a clue what i was doing so i just kept drilling bigger and deeper holes and trying to turn it with a screw driver! eventually i got a big screw driver, bashed it in the hole with a hammer and turned it both ways as hard as i could and it popped open. I put it down to luck!
