- Dethleffs Globebus 2
Dethleffs Globebus 2 lhd owned since new in March 2005 - OU05 ANF - 2.8 turbo diesel , 4 speed auto gearbox , maxi chassis , approx 170,000 kms , Dethleffs style n more extras . Always fully serviced . Last trip 3,000 kms France and Spain this summer , no problems .
Gentle run out locally the other day at only low rpms . Gearbox red light on - too hot - but only running for 20 minutes at low rpm . Extremely difficult to change gear at all ! HTC TRUCKS in Kidlington , Oxford , find ratchet system slipping on gear change cable and fix so now working properly again . But for how long impossible to say .
Fiat no longer make this part ( part number : 1328122080 as confirmed by HTC ) . I have found two companies who will make up this gear change cable , but they naturally require to have the original off my vehicle to hand , to confirm cost etc. My local garage who look after this vehicle understandably cannot have it standing around for weeks waiting for a new part to be made .
So far have drawn a blank on breakers or suppliers of this part online : Coastal Motorhomes , Bison Parts ,
Speedy Cables . I am still trying to source this part , so far without success . If there is anyone out there who knows where to get a new or good condition AUTO GEAR BOX CABLE FOR A FIAT 2,8 TURBO DIESEL ENGINE 2005 ( Vin. No. ZFA 24400007555272 ) I would love to hear from you . Thanks . Simon Bocock .
