when i pull away in my 1.6 sx2000 petrol multi i get a grinding noise like its not in gear it all so does it on full lock when u pull away and some times when u start the car u can feel a grind /vibration i have had 2 new wish bones and drop links and dont wanna get the diagnossis wrong and fork out a bomb so if some one has a ideaof a tell tail sign............... have a bit of fluid on drivers side shaft but also on top of gearbox is a rubber thing that looks like the selector i also have oil comeing from there and driping down the gear box how do i fill the box up with oil and where? and can i just zip tie the rubber thing up :confused:
 
CV joint??...it's clicking on full lock yeah?
Have a look at condition of booth/gaiter on sriveshaft on that side.... Chances are it's perished and cv joint subsequently dried out and worn.

Easy enough to replace if your into diy.

i love me diy but where do i get a 27mm socket for the centre hub on the cheap?
 
Be worth buying a socket set. One that goes from 10 mm to 30 mm is common enough and would payfor itself in no time.
Did u check out cv condition??
If you can't change it straight away pack it up with grease in the meantime.
