After gearbox failure, on my way to work I stopped in the CBD for a few minutes and when I came back the darn thing wouldn't start. I thought it was the battery and tried jump starting and nothing happened, until eventually I called my mechanic to check it out and as he suspected, fuel was not reaching the engine because the fuel pump had failed. In the end I had to the vehicle away and pump cost 250 plus over 100 for labor!
