'51 plate Peugeot 206 petrol manual.
Do these things suffer from any common faults with the gearbox? I wouldn't normally step within spitting distance of any form of French vehicle, but a friend of mine has an issue with her 206 (not 100% sure whether it's a 1.1 or a 1.4). It's developed what's best described as a clicking/grinding noise when you lift off the throttle, it does it it any gear and gets quieter although still apparent when the clutch is disengaged, when accelerating the noise completely disappears.
My first thought was that it sounds like a diff problem, but wondered whether anyone has come across this issue before? I've had a quick go on Google and several people have experienced this exact issue but in the usual internet style most of the responses are full of bollox.
