(T) Crank Crank!!

driving my car from work the othe night and as i turned left i heard a loud CRANK CRANK sound. sounded like two cogs rubbing against eachother the wrong way. after that i heard it through all the gears, so i had to put my hazards on and roll home. sent my dad to have a look and he said after the loud CRANKING sound it will drive ok through the rest of the gear until you change it to a different one then CRANKS then its ok. i thought it was my gearbox but he said it sound like the drive shaft. Any ideas? and i it is the drive shaft how much will it cost?

thanks

Off to a decent mechanic - get him to check the CV joints at the same time

well i got it to a garage and he said its the diff in the gearbox. he sent it to a gearbox specialist and that he wont know the full amount till monday. does anyone know who much im looking at paying from experiance?

well i went to the garage today and he said i need a new gearbox so. does anyone where i could get one from or a fiat breakers in the midlands. its for my 1.6 active sport.

thanks

No idea, prices vary hugely across the country

For your seconhand gearbox check out www.intapart.com They are in Daventry. I have no commercial connection , just know they have lots of cars.

Try these http://www.autoboxes.co.uk/ they deal with FIAT gearboxes in Mansfield, it says auto boxes but think they do reconditioned manual boxes.

Give em a ring

EDIT: or try these http://www.doncastermotorspares.co.uk/ they sometimes are breaking quite a few Stilos and can post out for £15
