trooper Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Come on lads, lets be fair, driving ability varies a huge amount, we have all seen people who in all honasty should'nt be driving their vehicle, Some of them very inteligent people. 40 odd years ago I used to drive a builders truck which only about myself and 1 other on the firm could change gear o/k, As i have said before, some people are practical and some are clever, often' not allways' not both.

rowley Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 So I am driving my vehicle incorrectly then Rupert!. I am not amused by your statement. I have driven all sorts of vehicles during my 65 years, including military vehicles, and never experienced the sort of problem that I have with my present Ducato. The problem with the gearbox is the ratio and you don't have to be an engineer (which I am) to come to that conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I am compiling some information which I hope to take further and I need your help. Am I correct in assuming that the first model of the X250 Sevel chassis appeared on a conversion in 2007? If this is the case when was the first report of transmission faults and also 'scuttlegate'? And how many of these were on 6-speed 3litre models? I would be grateful for your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Why not start a new thread then Yeti? and keep this one for the original purpose. It would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
