It just started today, creaking from the gear knob as it is moved into 1st, 3rd and 5th ..... 24000 miles on a 59 plate, oh and the electric window on my side doeant go up automatically any more ggrrrrrr

windows, should be a simple fix, open them up and then hold the switch down to close them, keeping it held for a few seconds after it has fully closed, you'll hear a faint click and repeat on each window effected

Squeaky gear change is the linkage of the gear stick, remove cover, and lube  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

cheers for that, tried the lube road this morning, no result but will give it a more man sized dose, will try the window fix and report ,, ta

haaaaaa haaaaaaaa a result, tried the down and click method on the window, but no joy, so wound it up and cycled the switch with the window in the up position -it clicked and worked - many thanks!!

I had same with the gear changes on my 59 plate
