Hi, this is my first post, I'm in Belfast, Northern Ireland and finding this forum bluddy great the m42s seem popular here in Ireland.
I have an e30 318is with about 177k miles on it, owned it a few months. Loving it to bits.:D Diff is on its way out and is whining away. But another problem is sneaking up, inside the car I can hear a funny squeaky twittery noise coming from underneath where the centre console is. Its also a bit jumpy on releasing the clutch.

First I though it was propshaft donut but it really happens most when in neutral and just after starting the car and I'm assuming that means its in gearbox/clutch Changing fluid this weekend, but any ideas guys?

Cheers
Kevin
