Help needed London area

Postby Di Jack Regan » Fri Apr 29, 2016 6:49 pm

I'm on a bus heading for Heathrow to fly to Glasgow. A close friend of mine up there managed to get me a banana out of a 10k LDV convoy with gearbox for free. Now, as it was up there I decided to drive my van with a basic 2.5di and type 9 box and get the transplant done. Found the guy to fit it by chance and he's trained by Ford. It seems now that he was actually trained by an asshole.
This is now 4 months later and I've just heard from him to say my vans ready, but he had to buy another type 9 box from the scrappy aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh I'm in need of anger management and might not make it back to London. He's never been able to be contacted by his mobile and answers by text when I leave a message. Today's the first time I've spoken to him.

I think I'm going to tell him to suckmafatun and take the van. He's not done what he was asked to.

So the help I need is, when I get it back, I need someone not too far from London who can do a gearbox change from type 9 to MT75. There will be a need to change the prop and cut a new hole in the cab floor to accommodate the newly positioned gear stick.
There's no one near me who is willing to take the job on as they are basic garages. So any recommendations will be gratefully appreciated.

I'm now going to call my lawyer and see if he can arrange bail for me

Wow, that's really handy as I'm only about 20 miles from Croydon in Kingston.

Will give him a try

Thanks very much
