Unhappy

Guys n Gals

I have grinding/rattling noise that seems to kick in at about 3000rpm in any gear. Had a mechanic look at it who seemed to think it was the gears in the rev counter???

It started out being worse going round a left hand bend but now there all the time. Thought that I could feel it vibrating through the steering wheel though not sure if it was just me imagining it!!!

Any Ideas

Thanks

PS car is UK MY98 few light mods Exhaust, Dump valve, air filter etc....

There 'aint no gears in the rev counter it's all electronic, just a meter really.

I'd have a look at your driveshafts, the outer boots are split and loose all their grease they might rattle/grind

Have a look behind the front wheels, the boots are the rubber bits around the driveshafts. check to see if they have spat out any grease
