Annoying rattle noise when car is idling also how far down should the pedals go ?

[imydaking]

Ok got another very annoying noise with the saxo they just seem to come and go randomly lol. The car runs fine and i use it everyday.

The problem i have noticed recently is that when i first start it i get an annoying rattling sound, i think it is coming from the front at the bottom. When i give the car some gas teh noise dissapearsbut soon as it is back to idling speed it's back.

Am thinking it is an exhaust issue but am not sure, just wondering if someone else has had a similaire experience before taking it to the garage. My exhaust also seems to sound like i have a aftermarket backbox on the car which i dont is this a sign its blowing? the revs also sometimes jump around 700-900rpm

Also another question i have is it normal for the clutch pedal to travel to the floor almost? and same for the gas pedal.
To get full power i really ahve to push the pedal down. And for the clutch if i dont push it down totally i cant get reverse yet i can get forward gears.

Just wondering if its a adjust the cable job or something bigger...

thanks for any help and sorry if its a bit confusing

if your exhaust is standard and it sounds like an uprated backbox then its most likely blowing yeah,,, put your hand over the end of it and listen for any leaks.... dont worry it wont burn you lol... i did it and i could hear my exhaust leak on my centre pipe !
