escortmad79 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 Michelle's (well ok, it's her Dads) Escort been 3 years in the making. MOT'd it this morning Taxed it this afternoon Michelle & her Dad take it out & run it out of petrol! Gearbox then decided to destroy itself shortly afterwards!!! First shaft decided it wasn't playing anymore so tried to exit the box!! Rattly as f**k & oil everywhere!! Michelle's Dad's not had a proper drive of her yet either!! Desperately in need of a type 9 box to buy anywhere in mainland Scotland or NE England so we can get it back on the road
banarama Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 sorrry to hear that / what a bummer.im sure youll find another box soon good luck
samurai Posted April 9, 2010 Report Posted April 9, 2010 I got my radiator back today fitted it and went for a ride and the crack pulley fell apart and then the water hose decided to come undone and just about made it back home with no water Oh joy
escortmad79 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Posted April 10, 2010 We were actually damn lucky!! The prop decided to disintegrate too on the knuckle at the gearbox end, if that had completely gone & it'd dug into a pothole it could've flipped us! Managed to get a type 9 box & RS prop today so spent the afternoon fitting the new box
