Noticed a whine on my car the other week coming from the front left, usually at speeds over 30mph. Like a remote control car! Still does it with the clutch dipped. Took the car into the dealer, who has said the gearbox needs to be stripped out and checked, could be the bearings! This will cost £600 on its own just to strip the box out let along the replacement! The car is still on its orginal discs and pads all round, original rear tyres yet the box fails first! Its a 1.9 120bhp Elegenza thats done just over 50 000 miles. I did a search on Vauxhall forums. Their is a lot of people with failures of the M32 gearbox it seems
