thanks for the help , but when i depress the clutch the noise virtually ceases all together , so it looks like i will be spending a day removing a big lump of a gearbox , But i only gave £2700 for the car ,due to the flywheel fault and i reckon on around £600 for parts to replace clutch,flywheel and slave cylinder , so it should be a cheap convertible for the summer.
