Congrats on the car Ian As said before some transmission noise when low speed manoeuvring due to lack of cush in drive train. However like Nick I wouldn't say it's like a bag of spanners. Diff maybe, though if you're reversing straight LSD isn't working. Problem in gearbox not impossible though I think, if not mistaken, it would be the first time one was reported on here. The Getrag box is a very strong unit so you would be unlucky if problem there. Perhaps worthwhile jacking back end up and turning wheels to see if any strange noises? Cheers

Hi Philip Jacking under the diff & spinning the wheels is a good suggestion for peace of mind - I'll try to do that next weekend Thanks, Ian

Reversing an LSD if the friction modifier is insufficient can cause a noise/vibration. It can sound like a loose wheel.

No problem, if you click on his username a dropdown menu will appear, you can then select "View Posts" which will bring up a list of previous posts - it will probably contain more pictures/info for you if your interested.
