Hair dryer? Razor blade? White spirit? Watch the metal lines from the heated screen with the blade, though!

Also, get that sticker out of your back window! 5 mins work, and will look much nicer!

5 Million thousand times better. Would look the same amount better with a slight drop. Also, is there a ghost in your garage?;)

If it was cambelt related, it would make a noise all the time. Even when being rev'd at a stand-still.

If the noise persists with the clutch down, i'd be looking towards wheel bearings/driveshafts etc. If it goes away, it's coming from the 'box or clutch.

Looks awesome.

And it doesn't make a noise when you put the clutch down? If not, that rules out wheel bearings and driveshafts.

Hmm. Can your hear what sort of area it's coming from?

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=414381 Mine's doing the same thing. A few usual suspects, from looking around. I've gone down the route of changing the clutch, and rebuilding the gearbox just to be sure it gets sorted.

Only when it's in gear? Does the noise stop when you put the clutch down?

Does it have a cost for the service? That'd be a pretty big indication.

Does the brake pedal kick back at you?

That was my thinking behind it. I've started stripping it all down, and it's not going to be driving anywhere until I've got the box done.

I always hear people making good noises about BTB. I remember seeing a video from Makavelli?! Maybe worth a search.

I'm looking to buy a rebuild kit for a Ph1 172 'box. What's the gearbox code? I'm leaning towards this one for some reason: http://www.transmission-rebuild-kits.co.uk/gearbox-rebuild-p-1046.html?osCsid=d01611a4c8788e02301d41a64d881684 Anyone?

One of the best cups, I've ever seen, tbh. So nice.

At least, I reckon it probably was. Lowered cup, with a private plate ending OJP? Farking gorgeous. The car's alright, too. ;)

It's pretty loud, and has increased in noise pretty quickly. I've started stripping it all down to get the box out. A friend of the family is a retired engineer, and has said he'd rebuild the 'box for me.

Both seem like nice lads who know what they're talking about when I've spoken to them both. They've only recently set up as a company, but you only have to see James' track-car thread etc. to see that they're good at what they do. The prices reflect the lack of in-depth experience, but I'd...

Christ knows! I've heard of a few people 'twatting them out'. For the sake of a tenner, i'd want it done properly.

You need a press. Most garages will be able to do it for £10 or £15.

No, it wouldn't. The VTS just feels quicker at that speed, as it's more 'plasticy'.

Taste it. Whichever is sourest is best for the car.

Petrol? White spirit, at a guess?

Lol! Could be worse. Cheers mate.

How much did he have to pay to get it sorted?

Nope. Going to try that in the morning. Short of that, I'm looking at taking it apart and having a look from there.

Proper weird one this. I've drained some oil out, and now the problem isn't so bad. the whining noise isn't all the time. But still comes and goes. Eff knows. Anybody? Or am I looking a new 'box?

Think mine might be having the same problems.
