On over run in 1st and 2nd it gives off a scratchy squeel, do they often lose oil? Can I check that? Or is it going to die and I should be hunting for a new one?It's an RS turbo by the way.

Cheers!

diffs rarely fail pal, i'd be more concerned with the shafts inside and gearsets.
just check engine mounts to make sure it's not the alternator hitting crossmember.

If it was that why would it only happen in those 2 gears? The ratchet on the clutch pedal needs changing, don't suppose something small like that could cause the problem?
