| Continuation -2- P.S. The other day I noticed that the second gear was creating a singing noise, similar to that emitting from the top gear, the noise from the latter having been apparent ever since I had the car. I immediately sent the car to Cricklewood and after inspection they informed me that the oil level in the gear box was low. This is definitely through no fault of mine as the car had been scheduled at 2,700 miles. I am now watching the dip stick in the gear box, daily, to make sure that the oil level is correct. The leak I think is very small. gro | ||
