I've recently bought a 2.0 cdti 160bhp 2011
105k miles
I've had the car about 2 weeks and noticed a few issues which I'm not sure are normal for an insignia or the cause for concern.
I've noticed that the clutch pedal has a kind of clunk towards the top of the travel on its release. The gearbox seems quite stiff compared to other cars.
The clutch pedal also creaks now and then.
The previous owner told me that when we had the snow last year he hit something and it blew a hole in the tyre. Well I've noticed that the steering wheel isn't aligned properly and when I travel at higher speeds I can feel a kind of vibration through the steering wheel and I here a knock when going over small potholes and bumps. Also the suspension creaks when going over a speed bump at a higher speed.
I don't know whether I'm just paranoid but these bits and pieces don't seem right.
Could there be underlying damage from where he's hit something and if so what could be the likely cause to create the above symptoms.
And is it normal for the gearbox to be stiff and the pedal to click/clunk and creak.
Your help would be much appreciated.
I also notice that if I try and travel at around 20mph in third gear it's as though it struggles and about to stall.
Thankyou.
