Far from it.
I am surprised that you had to STOP by the side of the road to change the gearbox, though.

I had no option but to stop as no gearbox- car could not move.
Unfortunately it was raining very heavily at the time,but always having the portable gazebo in the boot I managed this simple (to me) job without getting wet.
I hope this puts your mind at rest.

Absolutely - thanks .
A propos gearboxes:In the fifties I was driving an Austin in Bradford when my gearbox failed. The only gear I could engage was reverse, and hat to drive abt. 3 miles in that gear to get home. It was night time and no garages open .

TJ, the boffins at Mole Skin Fours have come up with an exciting new product variation. battery powered ones. for people who are either to busy or too posh to push. I'll put you down for a gross (complimentary of course).

Bet you couldn't do that in Bradford now. Having no headlights, you would be knocking difficult to see in the dark pedestrians down like ninepins
