dieselnutjob Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 A lady from my church has one of these and is looking for a new car. The Ignis appears to be in good condition except for a noisy gearbox. She had a new clutch a year ago and I suspect that this isn't a coincidence. The car is driveable and changes gear etc, but the noise sounds pretty terminal to me. I would therefore expect the price to be low. Someone would just need to beat the trade-in price. Sorry I don't have more details yet but I thought some early warning might be useful. We are visiting a Ford dealership on Saturday so we will see what the trade-in price is. It would be useful to know if there is any interest before I we go. She is looking at Ka+ The Ignis is in Acton, west London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Is it a whine?I think they all do that. Are they not straight cut or summat? Sorry if Im assuming that you dont know the difference between the sound of a fucked box and a suzuki box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselnutjob Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 it's f#&$ed it doesn't jump out of gear or have any engagement problems also it seems quieter in fourth gear according to the owner I would say that a bearing has collapsed or something Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 New box required - had one of these with a noisy box at 70k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kringle Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 2wd box is the same so that opens up options for viable replacements. Or potentially look for repair kits if labour is of no concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Quieter in 4th usually means the layshaft bearings are fucked, as 4th is normally direct drive bypassing the layshaft. Talbot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselnutjob Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 I had a quote from a local gearbox place of about £450 to put new bearing in the gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmund Fraud Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm really surprised the box has only lasted 49K miles ! Has it leaked all the gear oil out ? Will a top-up make it last a little bit longer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Probably going to end up working out uneconomically, but let me know how much please. I’ve still got the partly broken Ignis here that has a decent box, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselnutjob Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 She had a new clutch last year. Maybe the garage that did the clutch did something bad to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselnutjob Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Sorry guys but Ford offered her £350 for it so she took it. The Moog and Sigmund Fraud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselnutjob Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 They said that it will go to auction, not scrap. I have a few photos if anyone wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Wow, can't blame her for that.End of the day there was obviously another £349 in the deal - doubt they’ll see it back for it but there must be a healthy profit Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 They probably have some new shiny shit with a cushy PCP deal for her to make £££££'s on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselnutjob Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 No PCP. She will keep this one for 10+ years. For a small car it's actually quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyG Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Latest Ka is a Brazilian design, as is the Ecosport. It’s probably easily the size of a Mk4, maybe even a Mk5, Fiesta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselnutjob Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 It has a four cylinder 1.25 engine rather than the three cylinder in the Fiesta. I'm hoping it will be a tougher design but I don't know too much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselnutjob Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 As there seems to be some interest in this I will post the photos.49000 milesFull service history but from independants, not SuzukiClutch one year oldLong MOTProbable bearing failure in gearboxDent on front wing. It will most likely become the property of SMC Ford in Slough this Wednesday afternoon, and I am sure that they will be pleased to get rid off it quickly if someone wanted to put in a "trade" or "spares or repair" offer.

Kiltox Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 No they won’t - it’ll go straight to auction. Too many salesmen making money on the QT killed any hope of main dealers selling off shite PX for cash Cavcraft and Talbot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
