Hiii

its annoyin, took my car into a garage durin the week to have this whirring problem sorted out.. the guys changed a wheel bearing and its still p****n there isnt it.

turns out this whiirrring is comin from inside the gear box and the mechanic reckons its somethin to do with a differential or something.. dont know an aweful lot about it personally...

my cars a bitch on corners and its pulling to the left....

can anyone give some suggestions on a fix for this? options, costs, etc.

my saxo is in good nick apart from this and wasnt very amused when the guy said my cars on its last legs when its got 107k on the clock, when my last vtr reached 138k before someone rammed into the back of me and wrote it off.

Thanks in advance!

Change the gearbox.. Not really costly, and its easy enough to do.
Can pick up a gearbox for well under 100quid, add on another 10-20quid for New oil and diff seals.

whilst at the same time change clutch and release bearing.
As for the pulling left maybe tracking?

anoooother clutch, it only had one at 85k

ill see what the pullins like after a new gearbox

if it is the diff' im assumin the pullin is gonna down to different amounts of drive to either wheel?

well if the clutch isnt that old then no point, just mite aswell do it whilst the box is off
