Well im sorry to announce that whilst taking the car to MOCOM on friday, the gearbox decided to break on the rally car!
We stripped the box out yesterday and and took it apart to discover that the problem is a broken input shaft...
As this is a specialist gearbox,there are only a few places that can repair it for us. A new input shaft costs somewhere in the region of £700 plus labour. Add that to the price of tyres, trailer hire, fuel,and overnight stays etc, both of us have decided that cost and time are not on our side to enable us to get the car ready for next weekend.
Im sure that anyone going will still have a great time and im sure you will understand our problems.
