yep, im going

Major thanks to all, especially Lukey. Had a chance today to have a good look. Drivers side cv had some play, the bolts were only finger tight! All nipped up now and rattle deleted. Thanks again. Tom.

Hi. Hoping to get under it and give the mounts a wiggle at the weekend. Like said, it only makes the noise whilst being driven, on, off, part throttle. Hard to describe the noise, kind of like a clickity ticking tappy sound.

Ok, indicates it could be the chains, but, a big but, it only makes this noise whilst being driven along, not when stationary. Any ideas?

They were last year for sure.

The de-cat. Burbling around cold nights with the windows down hearing the sound bouncing off buildings. The subtle "pop" on gear change. The smell which makes envoromentalists choak on there tofu.

finally got round to fitting the carrier. Good as gold now. Thanks again. Tom.

Andi you are an absolute star! Will get on the case next week and report back.

Well, have finally had a chance to have a look at my gear cables. As i began to investigate i discovered a plastic dowl type pin hanging half way out. Popped it back in and it selects all the gears fine! Thing is that it rattles out again after a few miles. Is this an OE part, or an aftermarket bodge? Thanks to all who have replied. Tom.

which part of the linkage are we talking about? Replacement parts or tweaking? Are they the parts on top of the box where the golf club type weight is, as there does seem to be a bit of play. I havn't had a chance to look closely, is it a box out job?

as per thread title, i am starting to have problems getting first gear. It is slipping into third instead, at the lights/junctions its a nightmare! With a bit of "wagging" around randomly i can find it, but in traffic its a panic second gear pull-off. All the other gears work fine, no clunks or crunches. 130000 miles on the clock. I have searched around for answers, but havn't come across the fault i have. Any ideas? Tom
