Εxhaust no hitting floor etc..
centre prop mount have new bearing
Handbrake cable is ok also


At 99% is inside the diff from planet gears,in this place is weak with result the gears plays when the drive shaft works without load,i tested the car today in the rear wheels on air with the 4h gear at idle and after i catch the right drive shaft with hand and the noise stops!

I had an apparently rebuilt gearbox when I bought my car last year, weren't sure what it was at first and thought it was the exhaust vibrating.
It got noisier and noisier till eventually I couldn't select gears easily and the bearings had completely gone in the gearbox.
It made awful noises on overrun and at certain revs

Cheers Paul

I had a really weird experience with my sapphire with a similarish noise - it turned out to be the starter motor of all things!
