[QUOTE=xr-stu;3784220]interesting, i was having starter issues recently, removed the starter and noticed the huge ammount of shit over it, completely stripped and cleaned it and it was fine...for a couple of weeks. now got another starter from a lower millage car thats fine.
but that combined with the fact mine rattles like a CUNT at idle is worrying. i assumed my problem was the clutch release bearing as it goes quiet with the clutch depressed but i guess issues with the clutch plate/flywheel or whatever might do this too. also the car doesnt go down the gears very smoothly, could this be another symptom?
mines a TDDI by the way, i assume it still has the DMF? its on 185k miles.
