Broken CV Joint or Gearbox on its way out? FIXED

[leoncupra2012]

Is it when you change gear? or if you let go of the clutch pedal too quickly? like a thud? could be anything

Engine mounting
Gearbox mounting
Wishbones
Balljoints
Track rod ends
Roll bar links

Nothing to do with the clutch or gears as far as i can tell, only knocks when i turn, any time theirs abit of weight been thrown around.

Taking it into garage tmorrow get it up on a lift.

i have a metal wire scraping sound coming from front as i put my foot down in 2nd or 3third any ideas peeps just had a replacment gearbox put in with 80k

It's hard to diagnose over the Internet mate, but i suggest you don't use it until its looked at before you either harm yourself or another road user.

Shes fixed.

Outer CV joint was completely shafted. I think the boot was all that was holding it together and it was blue inside from the heat, no grease in there but the gaitor wasnt split? Odd.

I managed to snap one of the 3 bolts that hold the balljoint onto the arm but its alright ill get another bolt.

Then the undertray flew off on the test drive (hadnt even removed it !! )

Just the small matter of a dumpvalve that needs replacing, some vacuum hoses that are wrapped in insulation tape and a couple of temp sensors to go ! I love this car ! LOL

did u have a wire scrapping noise on acceleration?

What is the wire scraping noise on acceleration? I'm having this intermittently.
