   hi their are two minour glitches to my car that i would like to fix its not important but i dont like it cos it makes the car sound crap lol. the first thing is when you put the clutch in it squeakes, this might be down to a joint or something but what causes the squeak and can it be sorted?
   
   And secondelly when in reverse you get that old car reversing noise where you can hear the coggs moving but its really loud and if it can be stopped would be good. Sorry not that technical when it comes to engine and transmittion im more of an audio guy but if someone could help that would be great
   
   Thanks

   clutch release bearing it sounds like, and for the reversing, check the level of your gearbox oil, might just be with the age of the car like

   i not reely sure what else it could be if reserve is just whineing, all you can do really is check the gearbox oil and see what it like, top it up if it low, if it still does it then i not shure, could just be with the age of the car and if it doesnt car worst dont worry about it cause after all it is a 10 year car, what the mileage on your car?
