all links and rods have been checked and are fine, it seems that the problem lies in the gearbox itself. there is a rubber grommet on the bell housing so hopefully it is just the plate or something moved and i maybe be able to push it back?

who knows

new news on my gear box, the car won't engage gear now and just grinds like you wouldn't belive. I thought maybe the halfshafts by see if the prop turns but nothing. what other tests are there that i can do to see what the problem is or should i just take the gearbox off and sort it this way?

Cheers

Darkness!

Hi, can anyone suggest something to which I can brighten up my morris cabin when its dark?
I ask this as I have just been out in it and the inside of the car is pitch black, the speedo has no lights. the only bit of light i do get is when the indicator is on!

Any ideas would be appreciated.!
