Need a garage in S. Manchester/Cheshire URGENT

Post by suedehead »

I broke down on xmas day a few miles from my parents house. Got myself towed there but now need to get sorted but have no knowledge of garages in the area (I live in Bristol).

Basically the gearbox/clutch has gone leaving the rear wheels locked and oil going everywhere. I'm not technically able enough to look at it myself.

Any help in finding somewhere to go is appreciated.

Martin

Im sure i have seen a guy on here from Warrington (maybe linked to demon dubs) who rebuilds gearboxes, also there is someone on the VZI site in the yellow pages section who is based in Northwich and does mobile might be worth a try. Good luck Steve

You'd do worse than check your gearbox code out, or post your engine size and vehicle type/year in case someone has a gbox up for grabs

Well I don't know the gearbox code (where is it?). But it's a 1.6td in an '87 T25 Panel Van.

The van can't stay where it is at the moment so looking to have it taken somewhere on Saturday if possible.

thanks to all who've replied

Thanks Aiden, i've managed to get a space outside my parents place to move to van into, then I can go back to work in Bristol and start contacting people regarding getting it looked at and sorted in a more relaxed manner.

It's a 5-speed by the way.

cheers, Martin
