IT LASTED 2 DAYS!! At which point the gearbox decided it was fed up of dragging a yellow Astra around and blew up!! Luckily it did so just after I got back to the house although it was making some very dodgy noises the last few miles babck to the house!!
Not a problem I thought, I have a spare in the garage. So one sunday afternoon I roped me Dad itno helping and we spent a couple of hours getting the broken box of cogs out of the car. We thought we were doing well and we got the new one in place under the car, then I made one massive, stupid mistake!! when Mel asked how it was going I turned around and said ' Yeah quite well cheers' DOH
It was a few minutes later when we realised the spare gearbox I had was oh so slightly different to the old one..... Mel luckily had a great hunt and found the right one for 30 quid. This unfortunately meant trying to fit it after work, that wasn' t a good week!! It did however go in so fingers crossed this one won't blow!
