thanks for your help"

"hi to all hope you are all ok

"hi to all hope you are all ok, i think that i have sorted the prob with the leg is still make a small knock when put into gear, the reason that it was knocking so much was the gear linkage in the leg was half a turn off which was stopping the leg from coming all the way out of gear, thanks again to every one for the help knowing me i will be back soon with another prob antill then thanks.

tony"
