Thanks guys. The muppet had left the top mount bolts loose.Now sorted and i have my next service free. once again thankyou very much for your help.

I am totally surprised by your reply. I have it in my head that it is a gearbox problem. i.e the 5th gear has gone and i need to have the box rebuilt.?????
Can you elaborate on this as i like the sound of having the top mount replaced as opposed to a new gearbox

Having recentley had the cambelt and water pump changed on my 1996 1.9td i seem to have a new problem.

The passenger airbag cover on my 96 1.9 td has started to lift at the one corner.The car interior is very tidy for its age and whilst i could have a go at sticking it back with glue i wondered if this cover is replacable and if it is safe to do it.
