Whatever car it is, the first thing I would check is the gearbox oil!

£35 for an OE bearing + the cost of new gear oil, and say 3 hours labour. May be worth throwing in some new drivesahft oil seals for peace of mind.

Since when does a service check the gear box oil level. I would check it.

Also, on the early ish P12's it has a gear oil filler half way up the side of the box.... If you fill it up to there your asking for trouble. It needs filling/checking from where the speedo drive goes. ( 1.8 petrol only I think )
