Posted the above on another thread last week, so by rights it didn’t ‘fvck up today’. But you know it’s not going to end well when the dealer calls you in for a word, shows you the gearbox in about 450 bits, and says that it’s much worse than they thought. It wasn’t the clutch packs but a disintegrating bearing that caused widespread damage, and the short of it is it needs a factory reconditioned gearbox. All in, it looks like it will cost iro £20,000 to fix. Long out of warranty, but only 3,500 hours. The kind of news that stings like a bitch, but it’s a machine failure and not a terminal human health diagnosis. Chin up, and mindful that it will reduce the income tax bill
