Cheers David, that takes the guesswork out! 
Now all I've got to do is wait for the weather to get a tiny bit warmer, no way are my hands going anywhere near a gearbox when there's snow on the ground.

what are your opinions ?
as it does not appear to be jumping out of 5th or having engaging problems, I expect it may be bearings.
I have been informed by a local mechanic (used to Scoobies) that it may be somting to do with 3rd & 5th, maybe a coupling bearing (can't remember what he said). BUT he reckons if it is, then that part alone is about £280 and that they would also change the main shaft bearings as a matter of course.
