Rattle noise?

    Ive just noticed tonight that sometimes, but not always, when i'm sat in the car with it idling there is a slight rattle noise which seems to go away when I put my foot on the clutch, after a search on here it sounds like a release bearing problem but it seems weird for it to be that because...

    It sounds nothing like this video:

    The sound is a lot more faint and is quieter, and there is no loud clicking noise like in the vid.

    Also my caar had a new clutch kit shortly before I got it, so unsure as to why it would be knackered already.

    Maybe this is a normal noise as its not loud at all but I'm just wondering if its recently had a new clutch kit then could it still be failing or could it just be a bit noisey and be fine to leave it?

    If it will need changing how much am I looking at from a garage?

    Valeo clutch kit supplied and fitted 195 pounds, release bearing is a common failing on saxos tbh

    Ah so maybe mine is the release bearing then as like I say its totally different to your noise.

    Jason(I think?) If only the prices were like that near me or you were local mate.
