I'm getting a rattling metallic sound whilst driving along. Sounds like lhs with the windows open but I could be imagining it. Checked underneath for anything loose and fixed an exhaust shield, but that wasn't it. Played around a bit and "seems" to go when the clutch is dipped, so thinking clutch/gears?
It's a D2, td5, 51 plate, 140,000 miles.
NB Did change gear oil about a year+ a go.

Any ideas?!
 
Not shaw if it's the same on a manual as the auto . But I've had a bracket work lose on my d2 on the transmission. Brake /handbrake . If you look up at it in the middle of the car there's a moon shape ish shape bracket in front of drum give it a wiggle . Mine sounded just like a lose exhaust just needed nipping up

could it be the dual mass flywheel?

I did adjust the handbrake last September, I'll check that one cheers.
 
Can't select reverse now (and other gears stiff) related to the noise?!

Could well have been the release bearing then. When ours went it started off with 3rd being a pain to get then slowly got worse untill no gears could be selected.

The bearing is mounted on a plastic cage which connects to the release fork. When the bearing gets hot it melts the plastic meaning it can't fully release the clutch.

Double check the oil first though as an easy start point.
