Its a 2 litre blacktop zetec.. sounds like a fucking diesel at low revs tho ! damn think, someone said input shaft bearing? Basically get in any car, drive it as normal until you need to get into 3rd gear, but instead of putting it in 3rd, put it in 5th, and its the same kind of noise, like the gearbox is struggling to keep the engine going.. dont know what it is..

Steering wheel is jumping/clunking all over the place, one minute its free and then it will go tight and then ' pop ' with a loud clunk and jerk to one side, mainly the left, but ive been told it could be the rack, u/v joint, lower arms, top mounts, track rod ends.. i just really cant be bothered embarking on a mission of replacing 10 parts to when only 1 part was at fault
