Hi guys,
My 58 plate FL2 is still running well but I've noticed a few unsettling noises from the engine bay which make me think there's something up with the DMF or clutch. It's quite easy to stall a ... |

Thanks pab.
The noise does seem to go away when the clutch is fully up, it's only at bite point and when fully down that I can hear it.
