thanks for the replies. Pauls post sounds interesting, as it hasnt dropped any thing at all all since last night, even after having it running in gear, but i only use it say 2 or 3 times a week and when i do, it does get driven hard quite abit, maybe that would explain why it doesnt do it every single time. Is there anything i can do to stop it, or is it one of those things ill have to live with?
