More help with my VAL
Hi, as previously posted I have lost 3rd gear in my Bedford VAL.
I've cleaned through the years of grime and discovered info on the gearbox. The lines read: 522K18 L J13(or 5, can't tell)07 5 11 9 (possibly a date? It's on a small pressed on plate) 2 Also is a logo that looks like a V on top of a W inside a Hexagon shape? Midlands and Mr. Motorparts have both remarked that it's a Leyland box (from the first part no.) and that they can't help with a replacement box, although Mr. Motorparts said he might be able to help with a specific broken part. Does anybody have any experience with this box? What sort of job am I looking at to break it down to find the fault? Does anyone know where I might find one of these boxes to replace, or at least what Leyland vehicles they were commonly fitted to? Once again, any help is greatly appreciated. |

I do not recognise the part numbers that you quote, and I don't believe that Bedford fitted 'Leyland' gearboxes to VALs even though early models were fitted with the Leyland engine.
I can only repeat my earlier information:- http://www.truckandbusforum.com/arch...hp/t-3822.html and recommend that you invest $15 in a copy of the workshop manual for the Eaton six-speed gearbox:- Bedford.E.N.V.Transmission type 542 SMOT.Service training manual.TS844. from:- http://www.mark.clubaustin.co.uk/commercials.htm or:- 010843 Bedford E.N.V. Transmission Type 542 SMOT Service Training Manual (photocopy), 12 pages, $15.00 from:- http://www.ploughbooksales.com.au/54.htm $15 doesn't seem like too much to pay if it confirms that your gearbox is indeed a six speed ENV. Hope this helps. http://www.hlsmith.co.uk/products.as...39&hierarchy=0 http://www.hlsmith.co.uk/products.as...39&hierarchy=0 |
