Hi Guy's,
As a new owner (had the 04 VXR for a week now), I'm starting to get used to the car, but I have a couple of problems which may point to the lifestyle the car has had with a previous owner!
1. Twice I have had trouble engaging 1st gear, had to go into 2nd first then back into 1st before it would select-The gear lever wouldn't move into the gate.
2. In a mega traffic jam on the M25 last Tuesday night, I noticed a heavy clunking noise, that appeared to be coming from the rear of the car as I let the clutch out in 1st gear - only notice when edging along slowly in traffic and not able to change up a gear, sounds like a bit of back lash in a CV joint or in the diff.
3. Much more simple, near side front fog lamp is out, manual says get a dealer to replace it, but how hard can it be ?
Any thoughts about any of the above greatly appreciated, still got a years warrenty so not overly concerned but would like to identfy the problems.
Cheers guy's
