Well then another silly noise that has me confused.
This week I changed the nearside ball joint but when I pushed the hub to the side to undo a bolt holding the ball joint on I must have pushed it too far and gearbox oil leaked out from the driveshaft seal. I filled the box back up correctly (not sure if this affected anything but thought I'd add it in)
Now when I come off the accelerator there's a horrible grinding noise from what sounds like the offside??? It stops when you put the clutch down. Any ideas people as I haven't got a clue...
I'm pretty sure I did the ball joint right as I've done one before.

Thanks in advance

sounds like the release bearing, but dunno how you got that just by dropping gb oil!

Haha thanks so much everyone. It was something so basic. I bought a new air feed and fitted It the same day and basically it was that vibrating off on the engine when in gear and moving. Should of checked that before posting on here, but I panicked as it was a horrible noise.
