Hi all from Spain I'm the owner of an Dec '04 GT JTD with 160k km on the clock. Gearbox oil was changed a few thousand miles ago but I noticed reverse gear being quite difficult to select. It gets easier selecting another gear before engaging reverse, without stop pressing the clutch. Also the...

I've had the horrible squealing pretty much since I've had the car, I do mostly motorway driving so it's never really bothered me. I changed the discs and pads in order to cure it (Standard Brembo set up)but it's still there. I'm thinking of changing the discs and pads again, but may as well...
