D1015 2009 Transmission Change

27th January 2009.

The old transmission has been removed and the new transmission has been fitted.

We also plan to replace the 'B' end preheater with an overhauled one, change some original flexible pipework in the Serck oil system for new ones and change the engine to transmission cardan shaft for an overhauled one.
