Grinding gearbox on Peugeot 206 - what's the cause?
The gearbox is making a grinding noise on my Peugeot 206 1.4 HDi. It only happens in 1st and 2nd gears, any idea what could be wrong?

The most wear from the torque of the diesel engine will be on 1st and 2nd gear, so this is probably normal wear.
