Hello,

We have recently purchased a Bessacarr E495, and believe that we need to change/repair the gearbox. There appear to be a very limited number of companies that do this kind of work near us (we live near Kingston upon Thames). The only two I have found are Hardy Engineering and UKGearbox (in Romford, Essex).

Has anyone any experience of either company, or has used another one in the area?

Thanks

 

Justin

Tinwheeler, thanks for the reply. We actually like our van, and never had a vehicle that did not require work at some stage. I am a member of a FD forum and have asked the same question. Not that many people have had problems, and none in the SE, hence asking here.

My thoughts were that it's a Fiat issue rather than a problem with the conversion so, logically, a forum dealing with the base vehicle would be likely to throw up more suggestions for repairers……I thought. Sorry, can’t help further than that suggestion.
