Default Just how dificult can fixing a boiler be (long)?

In article , says...
And nothing beats experience at that..the time we wondered into Unipart
with a MAXI gearbox casing, and the man saw us come in, didn't wait to
speak to us,. vanished, and reappeared two minutes later with three
parts "you need those: The casing you will have to get from a scrapyard,
Do fit the locking washer. I bet you didn't find one in there, did you?
There you go. That's WHY its like that..".


Yeah, same gearbox on the Allegro - mine let go on the roundabout where
the M26 crosses the A20. Lucky I could still run the engine or I'd have
frozen being towed back to Harrow.
