Hi. Just bought a 52 plate 1.2 16v stilo from an auction. Usuall stuff looks great sounded good until I drove it at more than 20 miles an hour once out of the auction (thought about taking it back). Loud whine from the front which goes when you put the foot down, crunching in some gears 5th &6th. After investigation gearbox only half full of oil and leaks under the front... when you rotate the wheels (front jacked up) the diff sounds rough. Is it new gearbox or new diff?? how easy is it to change just the diff and how much has anyone paid for either box or just diff.... How long have I got (whine so bad even my deaf mother in law can hear it, even though only one of her hearing aids was working) Turning the radio up helps.
Got my multipla up on blocks of wood waiting on a bit from fiat so don't want the Stilo to pack up while I'm a car down (sure it won't be my wife getting the bus or taking their bike to work)..
