The problem with jumping into a project you know absolutely nothing about is that eventually you get caught out! In my case, it was the gearbox!.....theres nothing wrong with being caught out, its could be a good thing! after all, better find out now than somewhere down the line when your stuck! I could drive it but it would pop out of 3rd gear, and crunch in second, personally I would have kept with it, after all theres a knack to everything!...anyway the gearbox needs a new bearing and loads of other things so im told, so its out now and a new one in!
Theres the gearbox getting its first test! Its not as uncomfortable as it looks! A lot of people say that the beauty about land rovers is that you never know what'll happen next! I agree once I have the tools there! Im currently trying to convince this type of logic on a friend of mine, the " not knowing what you have until you find out yourself" theory, definitely more fun!.. but its harder done than said to convince this particular individual! I think im going to make em drive the landy and see if i can make some sort of point, would that be a sound theory? After all, how many of us here started to love our landies from their unpredictable spontaneous nature? The next time Im on, im going to show how it took me ridiculously long to make the engine water tight! it was one of them days! The leak just moved from one place to the next!
