Hey Guys
Got a Fiat Punto 60 SX 1998, only done 70,000 miles just passed its MOT 2 days ago and today it's starting doing a metallic scraping/grinding noise in gears 1-4 and neutral at about 2.5k rpm.
When revving in neutral it sounds pretty constant after about 3k rpm but when driving around normally it comes and goes, no loss of power to the car or problems with temps.
We haven't noticed the grinding in 5th but I think that's because since hearing the noise we haven't been revving high enough in that gear when driving about.
I've been told it could be a gearbox/diff bearing I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on it before I take it to a garage so I have some sort of expectation how much it will cost to fix.
EDIT: I've uploaded an mp3 of the noise if this helps you guys (and helps anyone else with the problem in future) http://www.ds22.co.uk/EngineGrindNoise.mp3
Cheers
