It was the exhaust knocking against something, all sorted now with a good old jublee clip.

And the spring that gives tension to the gear stick is twated so it's off to Renault for a new one.

renault will try and sell you a kit for 15 quid, you can get the spring alone but they won't let you have it in mnost cases, B&Q are a better option

So it's not a problem then?

It seems to me like a real waiste of time.

Also could I ask how much you think a Powerflow system would cost without the back box?

If you go down to the scrappies you should be able to get a five finger discount on the spring.
