ive got a mk 1 punto ,in 4th gear it started making a whingeing/whistling noise but over the last week its started doing it in 2nd and 3rd gear any ideas what this mite be and a rough price on fixing it?
It'll be the gearbox, they do tend to go on Puntos. Might be worth changing the gear oil, but the only way you'll find out how much is if you go to a garage and ask, but ball park £500-ish for a secondhand box fitted.
To be honest, in such an old car I'd just be inclined to stick in some PTFE and turn up the radio...
