Default Oh Bollox Car's broke down :-(

gear selector has come off gearbox end

wondered what that ping noise was as i was driving down the A127

big thanks to quizz and co for stopping... life savers

also big thanks to the recovery firm C&B cars (via greenflag) best recovery ive ever gone thru, driver turned up on time with the proper tools, got things done in time and delivered perectly home

now i just gotta get lennie to fix it tomorrow

any ideas how easy it'll be?
