   Alright just a couple of days ago this started happening, when i put the clutch in just before its on the floor it makes a light crunching noise, sometimes it doesnt happen but most of the time it is, the clutch is not slipping or anything its runnin perfect its just that crunching kind of noise thats annoying me, does any one know what this is or could be? cheers

   if its only doing it when the clutch pedal is fully depressed it will be the release bearing. Best getting a clutch kit and changing the plates while your doing that

   New clutch fitted, around £200.
   
   Its not a hard job, pick up a haynes manual and a clutch kit for about £100

    dont really need another person... Cant imadgine a 1.4 box being heavy ? plus he might just be jacking it up and doing it... An extra person would help if he knew what he was doing. But I've seen 2 first time mechanics attempting to do brake pads Funny times
