Need Help And Advice Please.

    My thrust bearing has been rattling very well and ive recently changed my clutch because that went and i was thinking by changing this it would get rid of the horrible rattle noise and shakes but it seems nothing has changed the thrust bearing is still making a loud rattle noise.

    Another problem causing me too not be able to drive is on the air filter box there is two plugs the one on the back that sits on a little metal pointy thing from the air box has snapped off and wont sit on it properly ive tried glueing it on and tape but now my car idles ither very low or it alternates from 1000rpm too very low and keeps doing it. When you drive it though it seems ok but when you clutch it too change gear it doesnt drop Revs?
    Anyone help me or have any ideas how i can justify most of these problems?

    Clutch release bearing's are wank. All 3 of mine broke within 6k road miles.. There is a metal uprated one you can buy so the clips don't break off like the OE plastic one.

    Just live with the noise / keep clutch pressed in so you don't hear it. (at lights etc)

    Air filter box - can't help you as I don't understand sorry.

    The idle will most likely be the ICV (idle control valve) - give it a clean with some carb cleaner - then after you re-fitted it - turn the key to the last position before it starts.. then back 1 7 times to reset..

    2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 2-3 start - should have normal idle.
