Subject:      Intermittent knocking/rattle sound
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;


This week I started to get a intermittent metallic knocking/rattle sound that lasts a couple of seconds when I go into 3 gear.It occurs in the first 5 minutes of driving,I think it's doing it in 4 gear but I sense it rather than hear it.It appears to be coming from the Drivers side of the engine department.I've checked the eng compartment,CV and rear tyres lugs for tightness-OK.Average temp. here is 5C.
One thing I did notice last night, when I pushed the clutch in-sound disappeared,clutch out-sound reappears.
Clutch problem?
Any ideas welcomed.
GerryR
