I stupidly said in a previous video how reliable my van, Bertie, is and although I know now that the gearbox was on the way out, it still feels like I jinxed the van! On my way to France, to follow the TDF, I was heading along the M11 and BANG went 6th gear, which took out 5th gear too and ultimately destroyed the entire gearbox in a few seconds.
Follow along as I explain the cause, what the resolution was, where I had the gearbox work carried out and why I was going to France.
