Right the idea of buying a bigger car (i.e Range Rover/Discovery) was because Jue nearly had an accident towing another miggy on an A frame back from Devon a couple of days ago (when it was snowing and icy).  

Answer: Bigger more stable car.

Only thing is, this Range Rover (Vogue SE 3.9 LPG converted) has a gearbox problem.., and is in Pembrokshire (I daren't look and see if there are any mountains to be honest).  So wonder if there are any bets on if Jue is gonna be taking up permanent residence in a Range Rover stuck at the bottom of a mountain somewhere lol?

Don't worry will make sure he leaves with survival gear, food and water for a few weeks.

You want him out of house so you can do more ebay....

[SheWhoMustNotBeOUTBID]

Naw, its a thought but I need him to repair them, get the cars on the road so I can sell them and buy more cars.

Poor man must feel like he's a  hamster lolol.

Lol....Range Rovers realy aint stable.....the only thing they have going for them is thier towing capacity!

Lol....Range Rovers realy aint stable.........

The one that was sat on its side still fastened to the trailer with an old style Land Rover on it on the M65 a few years back, certainly wasn't!

[SheWhoMustNotBeOUTBID]

Oh u lot are such pessimists

 

[Vamps]

Better off with a Propper Landrover, noisey, slow and uncomfortable but will do the job.

depending on where in Pembrokeshire it is it should be an easy journey up the M4 and keep on going, took about 30-45 mins from Swansea no mountains in the way

You pair trying to open another vaux dealership in wolvo???

M4 is easiest if you want a flat run but shorter is to comeover my way and go up the 'heads of the valley'

or if you're towing 2 ton of mig behind a clapped out range rover with a broken gearbox

[JueV6]

taking a gearbox with me so it will be 100 % before i leave.

if you need a petrol top up on your way down or up, junct 44 (careful of the 30mph speed camera as you come off the 1st turn off of the jnct roundabout if coming from Cardiff way) follow the road all the way down to the roundabout, esso and asda petrol at same price 94.9 (last time i filled up) tesco is also not far as well (but i find their petrol has lumps in)
there is a BP but they are a few pence more

[Lazydocker]

Be warned Juu... They aren't light! Or easy! IIRCC there's a couple of awkward bellhousing bolts right at the top. Easiest way is with about 2' of extension bar!

If you're changing it at the side of the road then I'd suggest a couple of good trolley jacks and make sure you stay clear of it! You can get a Rangie up on ramps on one side if you have them available which might give you enough clearance to get the box out and in but be warned that those LPG tanks can make access a little awkward!

Probably easiest to split transfer box from gearbox before removal and after fitting as it'll take a lot of weight away! They take about 9L of Dextron 2 (I think) and have to be filled through the dipstick tube.

Good luck!
