    Sankey/SACOL hitch, internal parts supplier?

    Thanks for the ebay link Kwakerman, but I don't want two hitches that don't work, just one that does. The one I have was an unknown quantity when I bought it off a land rover scrappy/ fixer upper. I'd rather know the devil I currently have. I just need some seals... Will try IFOR and Delta...

    Sankey/SACOL hitch, internal parts supplier?

    Hi everyone. I recently put new 3.5 tonne axles and leaf springs and a hitch to my arb trailer. It had horse box running gear on it but it was crap, and the hubs were rusting through. I still need to sort the ram out to get it tipping, but the modulars on new axles are great. I'm trying to...

    My manual isn't with me. Why would it be in two gears? Selector fork loose?

    Gearbox LT77 problems, and a dog.

    I did try to start the engine and have another go 1/2 an hour ago. Thought it might have magically freed itself. It actually stuck in reverse, jammed tight. I had to rock it backwards and stop it with a wedge under the tire, and then I could get gearstick out and into nuetral. I've checked...

    Gearbox LT77 problems, and a dog.

    Hi, thanks for reply. Yes lever goes into reverse no problem: when clutch is let out it wants to go, but just won't, engine almost stalls, exactly as if the handbrake is on. Which of course it isn't. Sometimes a bit of scrunching, yes.
