| Re: VRS Couldn't find gear last night No definatly wasnt in gear, and wasn't parked on a hill it was however parked half on the road half on the foot path. Everything seems ok with it now, just a little concerned though. |

| Re: VRS Couldn't find gear last night im stumped then , the only thing i could think of is that it maybe rolled forward putting pressure on the gear box but this would only happen if left in gear. hopefully it was a one off
