Your cute dog for your avatar and your knowledge and sound advice make you sound like a decent chap

But if you call the home strip of gods own football club ( Manchester city ) the Bolton away strip again .
I may have to come to south shields and shoot you

I am sick of this rain I cant get anything sorted

I have found the cause of my problem and it is the mounting at the back of the gearbox .

The only problem is I cant find a supplier for the mounting


Has anybody got any ideas where I might get one

I have decided to bite the bullet and ordered a mounting from Delfin .

It did sound a very expensive part when I first phoned them but after speaking to Dick turpin who works at the local Peugeot dealers parts department .
He wanted me to wait four weeks for one to be imported from France and pay £145.99p now that is highway robbery .

I spoke to Derek at Delfin designs this afternoon and he assures me that the mounting that he supplies is made to stronger tolerances than the main dealer part and it will last a lot longer

cant help for this model but new dash board levers

I picked up my Talbot Merlin 2 litre petrol this morning from Liecster (is that spelt right)

On the way home I stopped at the services on the M6 for a coffee , when I finished my expensive coffee I jumped in the driving seat and encountered my first problem I could not get reverse .

Al the gears are easy to engage with no grinding or needing to be forced in .

Has anyone come across this problem .

I have not had a chance to lift the bonnet and inspect the linkage because it is too dark now .

First thing in the morning I will don my overalls and get oily

boxer gear levers have been known to have a similar problem it is caused by the cable coming out of its slot at the gear lever end it only needs to be re located in the cable holder and the cable clamped to the lever with a cable tie you can get at it by pulling off the gear lever cover to reveal all
i just had to du this on my works scudo very similar working
