OMG !

pmsl at the police presence - about time they did something :D

How the heck can a gearbox failure be linked to lights?

Hope the engine isnt too badly damaged :(

Because when I turned my lights on to indicate I was going on a hot lap, my gearbox went!

See, obvious now isn't it? ;)

Yep another rebuild! :( Think this will be number 4! :o

The policeman in charge told me they'd had half the county looking for me! Strange really, when I rang RAC Trackstar to see what had been going on he knew exactly where I was! :lol:

Initial diagnosis is that it may be just a piston but won't know for certain until its cracked open, but fingers crossed!
