can anyone tell me what the noise from the engine is its fine most of the time then somtimes when i stop and take it out of gear there is a rattling type of noise coming from what sounds like the underneath the engine then when i press in the clutch it goes and most of the time comes back once i let the clutch back out its only started to happen recently. thanks

it could be either thrust bearing on the clutch or a worn idler gear in the gearbox..................thrust bearing is mostly though

I agree with Shrekky and Keith, a thrust bearing is just a round thing(top right) that pushes on the pressure plate(top left) to release the clutch spinner plate(bottom) when you press the pedal, at worse if it collapses you wont be able to disengage the clutch.
