Gearbox for the Old Lady...
Geplaatst: ma dec 11, 2023 8:38 pm
Hi everybody,
I am sorry to use Jos's profile to ask you something and to write in English.
Dutch is not my mother language and I am the ex girlfriend of Jos.
If you don't hear anything from him, it's because he had an accident in February with his tractor and lost his life...
Well, I don't write you for that reason.
I am driving a car which is called the old lady on this forum or something like that.
A 250TD break from April 1987 I bought ten years ago in the NL, up North.
Two years ago, I broke down: clutch and gearbox.
Jos repaired it with spares from the wreck we had.
Last Friday, same story...
The car is now at Dany, in Liège, my garagist who knows those cars by heart, maybe you've heard about him as well.
He has quite some spares but not the gearbox we need.
He can be creative but is running out of ideas...
The gearbox I need is a 717 413, eventually 717 412.
Does anybody can help with that issue?
If not, I am afraid it's the end of the old lady...
Shame as she passed the technical control perfect in October.
I would like to keep it going, I love my car...
Thank you in advance for your answers, ideas, propositions.
