Hi all,
Whilst setting off for work on monday morning my gear stick "flopped" up and down, although the van was still in 2nd gear. I dropped the van off at a local garage and they didnt even charge me, apparently a "ball and socket" joint had simply come off, however it keeps coming off so i obviously need to get it replaced, the garage said a lot of work is involved and will be a few hundred quid. I am paying an extended warranty as the van is 5 years old with 86000 miles, would i be elligible to claim on that? I have no idea on any parts or terminology so dont want to ring up and ask just yet.
All i can say is it looks a thick 2 pence piece with a hole in the middle that clicks/clips onto what i assume is the gear box. Any advice and help with terminology is greatly appreciated. thanks
