Goodnight from V'ger, and goodnight from me.

As some of you may know my V'ger's gearbox went funny last month, and I've held out for a few weeks with the view that I might have a go at fixing it etc, but have come to the conclusion that I would be fighting a losing battle. Time had come the Walrus said, and consequently off it went this afternoon to the scrappers .

After 8 years and 70,000 miles I was sorry to see it go, but it had served its purpose and that was that. Not sure what I'll replace it with, but i'm thinking maybe a large 4x4 plus a trailer for what won't fit inside. 

I've had an interesting time on here, and wish you all well in keeping your V'gers on the road.

Adios.

Sad to see you both go! Pop back and let us know what you get next! 

You don't have to own a Voyager to impart your knowledge and experience! Please check in now and again! 

All the best mate, Nev

Thanks for all advice in the past, I doubt anything will replace the GV ....BUT totally understand where you're coming from best vehicle on the road when they go but too often they don't. All the best in your quest and as bignev says don't loose touch.

What did you get? After 3 GV's, I'm thinking of going for a Volvo XC90 - I have the trailer already.
