Hey all,
this is my first post on the site and sadly it comes as something of a necessity rather than a luxury![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
My Clio 182 has developed a horrible rattling noise when I am in gear and decelerating. Iv since had it into the garage (was due a service anyway) and they told me it would have to go away to a specialist to have the gearbox stripped out and checked over as he thinks the bearings may have gone.
This is going to cost between £600-£800!! I can't afford anything near that amount... I can't sell it in its current state (not that id want to anyway), I'm not keen to lose it to a breaker or scrappy yet I can't afford to fix it!!!
So I am here hoping you guys have any tips/solutions?
Please bear in mind that although I love my cars my technical knowledge may be limited so in layman's terms would be best!!
Thanks in advance![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
