gear box prob

does it do it at tick over when stationary ,and carry on when passed 2000 revs

No not at tick over just as you go through 2000rpm in all gears, park and neutral

Mine got the same type of annoying rattle, I got a 300 manual and it goes when handbrake is on, did sound like gearbox to me. But it was the handbrake casing rattling. Haven't tired to cure it yet mind.

Na it's not that checked when I replaced the drive shaft donut. Used a stethoscope and probe sound is defanetly in the tranfair box. Was thinking do they have an oil filter like the gearbox. well think it is a trip to halfords for a hayens manual lol.

there nothing in haynes manual to help you and no filter or pump ,if you remove sump you can check gears they run on taper brgs so should have no freeplay input gear,then intermediate cluster which can be nipped up on nut on rear and diff assembly,both outputs use ball brg and leak accompanies wear,are you sure not exhaust box they are double skinned and often rattle,theres more in gearbox to rattle

Ok in the end I droped the transmition opens up the sump and found bugger all wrong hmm the plot thickens. After that putt it all back on and noise stopes strange one that but it has solved it so a result. :wtf:
