Perhaps it has all drained out of the gear box - no can't be empty, it would whine surely?


There's lots of oil in the gearbox, it just whines like a scouser on speed.

Seriously though we had this so many times over the years if your face dont fit your having the weekend off and re/testing your cab before it goes back on.Weve had 2,3 and 4 year old cabs who are 2 days out of overhaul and being knocked off the road for ball joints ,shockers ,favourite is brake inbalances .Not a big job to fix but a f£$cker at 2 am friday night.
