Our 97 manual (1600) polo has recently developed gearbox bearing noises - the sort that you just know are going to go from "slight" to "we need to fit a more powerful radio in this thing"
My independent mechanic thinks the car is toast - cost more to fix than its worth, he pointed to another one in the workshop and said that it's gearbox had done the same thing and he was stripping the car for parts.
What do the mages think? Seems a shame - Km's 110,000 otherwise very tidy.
