   It's been for mot today and passed with flying colours so wasn't thinking it was wheel bearings. As far as i aware it is correct gearbox and everything for car. It only does it in 5th that I've noticed in a straight line it sounds like the noise you get when you reverse a bit quick cars not lowered or anything does have vtr alloys

   Gearbox problem, easiest way to check is get it to do it and push it out of gear (without using the clutch) if the noise disappears then it's gearbox.

   shorter ratios so better for acceleration and and the vtr box is very very long

    This might be a daft question but do the inner cv boot have oil in them? I've put a new box on car and caught the cv boot and oil is coming out of it I need to use car and am abit scared

    They have cv grease in them, sometimes goes abit runny. Best to change the boot and fill with new grease soon as
