Gearbox fallen oft?

After years of abuse and bone idleness, the shaft siezed ... apparently because a main stealer put the wrong lube in it, which didn't lube, so main shaft and bearings goosed, and apparently one of the selector forks allowed me to engage 3rd and 5th simultaneously, which made it go bang and stopped it working! :eek::eek:
Stealer denies any responsibility ... now there's a surprise! ;)
It's been sent to Ashcrofts for a refurb, and (according top a friend of mine,) will be filled up with the 'proper MDF' for it! :eek::eek:
Trouble is that I don't know what their lead times are yet! :(

O'fishal announcemint. I has decided to take a few weeks break from LZ. I has a lot of things to do and not enough time to do them. Hence staying away for a bit. I knows yer feeling sad already but it won't be long before I is back. Theres a lot going on at the Hippo Technology Centre of Freelandering. To many half finished projects that need finished. I will still receive automatic emails during this time telling me PM's have arrived. I will reply to them if needed but I won't be active ont forum reading/posting sh*te for a bit until I return propper. Things will be back to normal when eye's return. Can someone look after seahorse and marmaduck while I'm oft coz they'll be lost without me.
