Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
Gearbox
I checked the gearbox and diff oil levels this evening, they were OK. So run the car while up on axle stands, and think the transmission noise is from the front main gearbox bearing, the noise is worse when in 3rd gear and under load. It doesn't jump out of gear, so I think I'm going to chance it for the Lakes tour and Stoneleigh. There's always Mr RAC.
Also put the new battery on, so now I can take her off life support from the RAV4.

Noisy 3rd indicates a worn lay shaft bearing inside the box if i remember correctly Dave.
I may be wrong as its a long time ago but my mate Nick had one and that jumped out of gear at times. I will make sure the hoist is accessible for when we get back from Stoneleigh.
