	right my other half has just come home in our seat ibiza 1.4 8v and its making a really odd sound, like something is grinding. its not a constant sound, but intermittently a sharp grinding sound can be heard (sounds a bit like the noise those ecotec valves make), when the car is at idle, and gearbox in neutral. depress the clutch and the sound goes away. it goes into gear fine and drives fine. I'm totally stumped. any help would be greatly appreciated

	well that was my 1st though, but normally they make a noise when depressing the clutch (or at least thats what happened to the release bearing on my old mk4 polo 1.6 8v) i would have expected some warning sign too. but previously it hasnt made any noises. the clutch isnt stiff, in fact it moves nice and freely. I have had a thought though. yesterday i adjusted the heatshield, as it was knocking the gear selector rod, so perhaps itd just this vibrating against the exhuast.

	No mate can make a noise in the same way yours is.
