We hit a small problem.... The 1/2" bolt at the bottom of the gearbox does not want to budge! As a quick fix we topped up the gearbox oil until it ran out of the filler hole half way up, as it have to use it this Sunday for a competition.... I am worried to really force the bolt on the bottom incase it shears off!
The reason I wanted to check the level of the gearbox oil was because the gears are getting very stiff.... Although they become a lot easier after about 20 minutes of driving (?) ... So my first thought was perhaps the oil was low. Ideally I could do with getting a mechanic to give it a thorough service, but as I live in the middle of France it's proving difficult to find an HGV mechanic that has experience in an old bedford!
