I shall take these replies in order.
Steviewevie,
Thanks for your reply. It looks like it's the two 24mm plugs from the bahamuta diagram, although
the drain plug appears to be fitted to the left side of the gearbox? I don't remember seeing
a plug there. I will have to look again.
The other (star-shaped centre) plug that I mentioned appears to be called 'Head Straight Screw
Plug No.1' on the diagram and looks to be containing shaft detente balls and springs. I don't
think I shall be removing this one! Thanks again for the info.
aido,
Thanks for your reply. There is no vibration present, just the slight whine in 6th. I think it's
wear of some kind. When I accelerate it's there but goes away when I take my foot off the gas.
It may be a low oil level or just poor lubrication due to the old oil losing its potency. As far
as I can tell by the service records the oil has never been changed in nearly 69 thousand miles.
Based on your reply and that of glennhughes I think I shall fit the 4-button type parking sensor.
glennhughes,
Thanks for your reply. So it's the Sat Nav! Thank you for putting my mind at rest. As to its
mysterious risings I shall check through the annals as you suggest.
Yeldarb,
Thanks for your reply. Now that you have advised me I can see the symbol you mentioned flash
on as the beep occurs. It's a great relief to know that it's not a warning of impending doom!
