Oh good :)   Oh wait...he said "cheapER", not "cheap"... :\

>Does the rattle change significantly if you depress the clutch pedal?
nope.  Not in the slightest.  But I do get a nice, fairly loud [grrrrr]
noise from the clutch moaning when it's in...

Ooophh.  Hmm.  15x60=900.  Owie.  Well, if it's groaning, I guess that
means its time has come?

The rattle definately only happens when the idle dips low; the lower the
idle, the more severe the noise.

Arrgh....Dave's not answering his phone.  Maybe I'll just drop by for an
appointment to have the rear bushing done and a brake bleed, and casually
mention the rattle(leaving the car on, maybe he'll notice, even better) :)
