Title: aawwww bugga, not again!!
Post by: unlucky alf on 22 April 2010, 19:56:31
yup its happened again, the demise of another ar35, this is getting beyond a joke, admittedly this one ive never been 100% happy with as it always sounded like it was slipping a bit but it got me through the winter,
so its under the car yet again to change the box :'( im thinking of trying it blindfold as im more than used to it by now, i got let down on the use of a workshop a couple of weeks ago so its gonna be awkward again unless of course anybody wants to earn some beer tokens giving me a hand ::) ::)
