   I have just bougt a 2001 Saxo forte on an X plate....and it has an after market silver gear knob with no numbers on it etc on it, that rattles a bit. Was just wondering what the oringal knob is?
   
   Any suggestions would be greatly apperciated.
   
   Thanks.

    Also is the gear knob an easy fit just screw off and screw the new on?
