It might help if you say what kind of noise, which gear, etc.

Thanks for reply,
I put this in the mechanical section detailing all, left it for two weeks still no response. It happens in second & it's like a fine grinding noise, makes the same sound coasting along with the clutch in, any ideas? The van is a 2.0L air cooled.

You could try emailing Aidan Talbot or sending him a PM through here. He will be more able than anyone else to advise if there's anything that can be determined from your 'symptoms'.

bear in mind thou, Aiden does not work on Aircooled boxes..

If you get stuck and the box goes bang I have a spare DK gearbox here that I'm not going to use.

Thanks I'll keep that in mined.
I don't see why it should go bang thou, it's only making a slight noise in second which only come about after the van got stuck in gear what was down to clutch cable adjustment not the gearbox.
