Hi guys,
For the past month or so when I push the clutch down when the engine is running under about 1,200 revs the car makes a loud rattle noise. If I tickle the accelerator (with the clutch still held down) and put the revs higher than 1,200 the rattle stops. This obviously means the car only ever makes the noise when I'm pulling up to stop or just pulling away/parking.
Sometimes it doesn't happen, but this is only if I havn't driven the car in a day or so. The car still drives fine & changes gears smoothly.
My mate seems to think it is the heat sheild but he doesn't know too much about cars & I'd like to know what it could be before I take it to the garage.
Cheers!
