Sorry for the late update on the phone call :eek:

I phoned the garage yesterday lunch time, Clive answered and when I told him who I was I got the distinct impression that he knew what was coming.

When I explained the reason for my call he handed the phone to Shane, he is the guy that fitted the gearbox.

The impression I got was that they have been following this thread because Shane's explanation of how he fitted the box was an almost verbatim quote of how Rick (quite rightly) said it should be done.

Unfortunately we can not prove that what appears to be their shoddy workmanship caused this failure.

What I will say is when Rick called here with Pete's truck last week, despite the garages diagnosis, it was blatantly obvious that it was not the engine that was causing the noise.

hey its done now. ... and as daved said proof is the key. we dont have any .... so we put it down to school fee's

at least im confidant its fixed right now ....

and im happy to put in a bit to put towards a little something for rick .... if you decide to do something like that
 
i'm nearly as excited as Pete will be!! cant wait to see the truck again, and hear it running.. I cant get over how totally awesome Rick and the "gang" have been on here...!!
 
ok where do i start ? .... shocked , amazed ......i just dont have words for the clubs help , im sure you are aware of how much this means to me , just one little problem at the mo , im feeling a bit rough , i think ive picked up a virus , so please forgive me , also after being prodded and poked and had probes stuck on the back of my head , its been a rough couple of days , sheila hopes to come down with me , but its not looking good at the mo due to work , but she will try ,im looking forward to popping down to see rick swifty mags etc , but not at the mo , have you heard of the phrase like poo warmed up ? .... well i feel a bit like that at the mo , hopefully ok in a few days tho , many thanks to paul also , and im sorry ive caused so much trouble , i will eventually thank you in person one day .

many many many sincere thanks folks

Now theres a man whos greatful and sincere, and as pete has said before in this thread it just goes to show that not all people are the same, although Im new on here I too am overwhelmed by the generosity and help thats been shown on this occassion and on questions Ive asked. WELL DONE RICK AND THE TEAM and all concerned, they can be very proud of themslves.
 
just like to say a very big thanks to rick and swifty the work and time put in for a complete stranger is amazing, ive never heard of anything like this before,if the programm hearts of gold ever came back you pair should be on it

er rick , i know one of the osf front studs is broke , do you mean that one ?
 
Yes sorry don't know my left from my right, yes ,,,,,,OSF wheel stud:doh:doh:doh:doh
 
OK it is all finished, road tested all OK, even got air con, it was empty, so charged it up works a treat but will probably leak over time, could not find leak but very often inside heater unit, anyway apart from 2 wheel studs (coming Tuesday) Briggie is back on the road, I am well happy with the result, hope everyone else is, I am now going quiet, done my bit, nothing much to say now, Rick
 
Rick, from the few moments I spent with you last week it was clear that you are one of a dying breed, a true mechanic/engineer..... unlike these young 'parts replacers' that seem to occupy most garages/workshops these days.

A huge thank you to your good self and Swifty for all your time and effort that has gone into this.

I will give you a bell tomorrow :thumb2

Phew! I've just spent the last 30 min catching up!
What a great result.
Rick & Swifty, Well done you both really have gone above & beyond the call of duty, I take me hat orf to you!
hi.gif
 
totally awesome Rick, you are a true gent! its heart warming to know theres folk like you around, you've been an absolute saviour, hats off to you, your family and Mr Swifty. I'm in AWE at this whole scenario, this kind of thing just doesnt happen!

I just love this club, I never expected this sort of thing when I joined up. Dont misinterpret this, but I never expected such decent people, not at this level, thats all of you I mean. I've followed this whole Pete scenario from day one and its shown 100% that there are still a ton of really REALLY decent people about. Y'all deserve a medal.

petes going to be so chuffed.
