Gearbox Noise

Hello,
am new to the site, just recently bought a Mars Red Mk1.

At first i thought it was some sort of heat shield that was rattling below 2000 revs, but it does not do it when you rev the engine standing still. I have read a thread on here that alot of the gearbox have the same noise, some from new. Is this the case ?

Just to put my mind at ease is there any members from the Glasgow area that could have a listen to it ?

Many Thanks David
 
Hi David,

That nooise takes me back to my MK 1. Many sound like that. I pestered my dealer about it and they insisted the noise was standard.
