Problem solved!!
Incase anyone incurs the same noise in the future....
Whilst having my 3/4 gear synchro changed. (2 month wait for the parts!)
It was noticed that the gearbox mounting was snapped, 2 of the 4 lugs had sheared, New mount fitted when gearbox reinstalled,
She runs like a dream now.
Gearbox ‘Donut’ bearing and U joints all still pristine, which were my ‘guesses’, should we say... I’m no mechanic. But had them checked over to eliminate them.
Sidenote and off topic: I Was shown the old parts from the 3/4 synchro change too, they looked bloody brand new still! The selector had no wear or fatigue, nor did any of the other parts, all the teeth on the gears still. Was shocked. They looked like brand new parts!
But she now stays in gear and sounds like new.
Happy driving folks!
