I shall report back when there's something worth reporting.
Who the blazes designed a gearbox for a workhorse on the British roads that does not like 30mph? What is behind that?

I know why all the other transit drivers don't have the same drama.... How many have you seen who drive at 30mph?!

The real problem is still in the gearbox, the ratios are not crossing properly over from 3rd to 4th. I don't really experience problems like this in other gears, not to say they don't exist, but if they are there I don't really drive at the speeds where they appear. I could probably do with closer ratios and a sixth gear.
