Brilliant - more problems!

So now I know what my detatched pipe is - I've got 4 new tyres today and now....

I've started getting a knocking noise, mainly when in gear and when you take my foot off the accelerator - if I push the cluch down it stops knocking. It knocks in time with the speed, so it slows down as I do - and, I'm sure related - my gears are getting stiffer and stiffer and stiffer.... and when you put the clutch down and move the gear knob about it creeks a lot.

I'm just up the road from Steve at Gasure so if all goes wrong maybe I could land myself on him!

and it was OK before the new tyres went on ?
where you there when the fitters fitted them ?

i'd jack the rear up and with the front chocked and it out of gear hand brake off spin the wheel and see if the noise is there ,

i'd also speak to steve and get him to give it a quick looking at ,

first thing m8 check the wheelnuts immediately (you've probably done that already)

It was knocking before the new tyres but the gears were changing fine.

I watched the fella putting the wheels on and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary , although I did think when he was tightening them up that I'd need 3 mates to undo them!

I was ruling the wheels out because the gear change is still stiff and creeky when stopped with the engine off.

Did they jack the back up under the gearbox?

Did they jack the back up under the gearbox?

I saw him jack it up, I think he did it at the jack up points at the back close to the edge of the van,not far enough in to get to the gear box I don't think
