Well, thanks to all the help its back on the road. By the time the posts of 14th April reached me the van was in the workshop of MK Gearboxes (lacal gearbox specialist)............. a £30 tow got it there. As everyone predicted they found the cable that operates the pawl broken and ordered a repl...
