ill tell u lot my story....

I had a box that sounded like a touring car's... Turned out Input shaft was waving around like tiger woods 1 wood.

found a replacement box with just 26k miles... good times :)

got a local mechanic to fit it and it went in like a dream.

All is well, no noise, selects all gears great.... BUT.... The stick is over to the right. 6th is basically on my leg. Even having the other box at the side of me, I cant figure out the left / right adjustment on the stick. Anyone help please!!!!!!!!!

the gear stick is half a turn out remove turn and refit job done.....

What am I turning???? I can't seem to find the adjustment for the stick...

if the sound goes away when u just rest ur foot on the clutch pedal (no more than 1 inch travel), its the arm that pushes the bearing rattling on the shaft. Solved the same problem on mine today by injecting copper slip (other high temp greace will do) onto the arm / shaft. Access was gained by removning the seal from where the arm enters the bell housing (slave cylinder side) and used a syringe and a 10cm peice of drinks straw..... Pumped the pedal a few times to spread out........

Hope this helps

My IS has suddenly got a noisey release bearing on the clutch,sounds really dry,is there anyway to oil it? Sounds silly buy on a few cars they have had inspection plates on the bell housing and it would have been possible to get a drop of wd40 or something on it.

everything else works fine clutch gears etc just seams a bit drastic to pull the box out to replace it for the noise

thanks

Is the car lowered?

i'd check the diff donut rubbers

No mate, all bog standard. Diff rubbers.... Easy Job?

Hello All

I noticed that when I have people sat in the back of my car, under heave accelleration i get a grumble from the diff / prop shaft...

And when over 80 mph, i get a judder, as if the rear wheels need balancing...... but they dont. Any suggestions anyone?

when you say "the fuse box" it makes me wonder if you are aware of the three fuseboxes in total in your car ? one under the bonnet,one in each footwell

Many Thanks, I didnt know. 1 x 7.5 fuse later all sorted. :) Thanks Again

Hello people,

I tried to change an interior bulb in my 2003 is200 today, stupidly changing the original for an eBay 'upgrade' LED one. After fitting the LED light lit up. Then went off. After, that none of the other interior lights work, sun visor light wont work, most importantly.... NEITHER WILL THE CENTRAL LOCKING. I have pulled all the fuses out of the fuse box, none are blown. Are there any other fuses? Does it run on a relay? HELP PLEASE
