Hi JD,

It's been covered a fair bit to be honest, it seems to be the bain of every PG1 gearbox equipped car, my own ti still has the 'floppo-select' system in situ I keep meaning to do something about it!

Quite a few bods on here have flagged up some decent ideas of how to fix it, in particular, MGJohn.

Just a couple of thread for you to have a read through, quite interesting too!

hi and welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your car there a very good motor, but i would say that i have a 600di too mines done 125k and has that rattle from the gear stick too, the sloppyness of the gear stick is the linkage at the gearbox end (just the uj) the rattle is at the gearstick end of the linkage both easy fixes. just not got round to do mine.

 

Thanks guys, really appreciate the help. Does anyone know where I can buy one of the steering universal joints? If I go to a factors what exactly do I ask for? Sorry to seem such a numptie but it's ages since I attempted anything like this.

 

Hey Ramdonice! Just noticed you're in Lowestoft which is exactly where I am..NR32 in fact. Any good breakers in the area mate?

 

hi mate, your the other side of the water to me. nr33

i dont use the local breakers i just use find-a-part my step-dad worked there before you passed. parts have 3 months guarrenty.

here is what you need and what to do.

 

Thanks for that Darren and sorry I've been so slow to reply. Looong woman story, won't bore you. Sorry, but I'm a bit thick...but what part exactly do I ask for when approaching a parts dealer? I think I've workd out that I need a UJ from a steering column but which one??? If Darren ain't about, someone help me please.
