Gutted for you mate, you've had no luck at all with D2 ownership, none at all.
Who have you spoken to regarding repairs to the gearbox? I spoke to someone in Teeside when my D2 was acting up and he sounded very knowledgeable, I can supply his number if you like?
Knowing you and your standards well it'll be too nice an example now to even consider for breaking, I hope someone gets it sorted and back on the road, hopefully you
