A mate of mine has just bought his second mk5 fiesta zetec s, he has taken it back to the garage to have a few things he wasn't happy with sorted, one of which being the clutch release bearing grinding a bit. Obviously a fairly big job so the garage are trying to get out of doing it by saying its normal, strange thing is, he rang Pumabuild and Pumaspeed, (knowing they work with these engines all the time) and they said it was normal too?

His old one never did this, and neither have any others i've been in?
Are they just generally noisy or are three people talking crap?
