hey guys,

Thank you very much for ur offers on sorting my box out for free :roll:
If u would love to pay for it for me i would love u forever as im totally skint atm lmao!

Back to a serious note i really now need to know info on where i can get this sorted to and any info would be brill!!
Im not 100% certain that it is my box, but do have a feeling that its gone?! what are the signs for it? mines whinying in every gear and only started this morning while i drove to work! :cry:

Would it damage it any more if i kept driving it or do any more damage to anything else do u no? or should i just leave it until i get sum1 have a look at it etc?!!

Personally i would avoid driving it, as eventually the bearings inside will sheer off and all hell will break loose inside- which then may puncture the gearbox casing, which would complicate matters as a whole new box will be required other than just reconditioning the internals. likely to be more costly too!
