It appears it's not as sorted as I had hoped......
Started her this morning and it sounded very em... dieselly which isn't a great sound for a petrol. Also noticed that the clutch pedal was vibrating in time to my new rattles when I just touched the pedal, went away in gear and almost inaudible in the cabin at idle.
Took her back this evening and she is booked tomorrow for a gearbox, either replacement or rebuild depending on what Vauxhall want the dealer to do with it. Now, disappointment aside, why would a gearbox issue still be audible at idle in neutral?
I have a theory that there may be something up with the new clutch/dual mass combo installed with the replacement engine. Dealer is adamant it isn't but then he would be, he installed it. That said it doesn't really matter as long as it's fixed at no cost to me. So it's back to a Eurocar something for me tomorrow evening.
I kind of hope this is the end of it - can't be that much more to go wrong. This would drive a fella to a Ford...... Apologies for cursing!
