Many thanks for your suggestions - much appreciated. i will keep you posted with developments.

Good evening fellow Impreza owners. I have just taken ownership of my second after about 15 years since the first one. Olive, (because she is green), has a gearbox whurr/whine which I discovered as I drove her back from South Wales to her new home in York. i am a competent DIY mechanic but geraboxes are beyond my capability. Any suggestions as to what this may be and the best way of addressing it would be gratefully appreciated. The car is a 2001 classic model, unmolested and has 128k on the clock. It was the subject of an article in last months Classic car mag which was largely why I bought her - totally original and I intend to keep her that way and enhance her attractiveness over the coming months. I look forward to your feedback. Many thanks.
