    You haven't got clutch noise, you have gearbox noise....from what I'm reading, goes quiet with clutch pedal depressed. 

    Three pots are inherently out of balance and those firing pulses don't do gears and chains any favours, just wondering if a slight misfire (and those VW 3 pots love an exhaust n chain drama) would cause even worse gear chatter?

    Will get it checked sometime next week and keep you posted

    Depends if its a car we stock as far as I'm concerned .

    If it is I ask for a time scale of 1 month and £1,000 up front .

    If it isnt a car we stock I ask for 50% of retail price . 

    eg A guy asks me to source a BMW 320d Convertible in white with Black Leather yesterday , he's got 10k to spend so I said I don't stock those so I need 5k . He wanted to look round it first he said then make his mind up . 

    Its A BORIS NO DEAL THEN I SAID :D

    The latest BCA assured report has been designed to cover absolutely nothing apart from their arses.

    I had the pleasure of quizzing the Customer services at Bedford what the latest check comprises of and it is laughable

    I was advised that if I wasn't happy paying £35 for it I should buy my stock elsewhere

    In fact they did me a favour .

    I got off my arse and looked elsewhere and found other sources that value your custom, treat you with respect and offer variety and a decent margin

    BCA won't miss my 10 purchases a month

    You are right I went through the terms and conditions and they don't cover nothing apart from there arses. Plenty of other places to get stock

    Trying to be Zen about things, it is an interesting business model to have customers spending huge amounts of money but treat them with contempt. It's not just BCA, but Manheim too. When you consider the huge amounts of cash changing hands you'd expect complimentary champagne and dancing girls while you wait!

    They do give us some vouchers for the cafe but they don't serve champagne and they couldn't pay me to see them girls dancing

    Personally I would say not, but to be fair I cant hear yours to say for definite.  If you really want to depress yourself, google vw up/ seat mii/ skoda citigo clutch rattle, its a well discussed topic (a bit like Autotrader on here).  I put the clutch kit in because it was tight to engage first and reverse when cold, it did improve that but made no difference to the rattle.  Its possible a bit of regular driving might make it less noticeable, if the gearbox oil gets a chance to work its way in. The cause is just the vibration from the 3 cylinders,cheaply made components, a lack of sound proofing and gearbox oil that is thin like water.

    I sat with mine for 3 months, not knowing what to do with it. It was mint other than the noise, a 75PS Sport and owed me over £4000, but got back £3750 this week. Down here they are retailing around £5000 and bit more.  I did explain that those probably rattle as well, its a characteristic.  Made the customer sign the a print of the advert I posted, included a copy of the technical service bulletin and explained it will rattle but actually, it wont break! Time will tell.

    It is a rattle and when clutch is pressed it goes away so hoping it's release bearing but saying that have just read the forum regarding these shitigoes and you are right it does seem to be normal. So now just wondering if it's worth put a clutch in and still have it sitting around 6 months later

    Is it a rattle on idle? Does it go when the clutch is down or the idle revs are picked up? If so, its the "gear cluster rollover rattle" that they suffer with.  I have just had the joy of that on a 2014 Seat Mii, one lady owner, 17k miles, FSH. Didn't hear it when I picked it up, seemed ok when I first got it back and after a day or so, it was rattling when cold. Its a horrible noise, caused by the combination of 3 cylinders and cheaply made gearboxes. However there is a tsb from VAG that says there is no remedy.  I actually put a new clutch kit in and the noise was exactly the same.  I have just sold it for less than cost, advertised as having a rattle when cold. Wont be buying anymore. 

    Interesting to hear and it's there on cold and hot but not as bad goes away when clutch is pressed down. Just priced up a clutch kit with release bearing £80 plus labour.  Is there no point in putting a clutch kit in?

    I don’t think you have a claim having bought it in the hall as opposed to online.Some people might say that you were equally negligent.

    Reading through the terms and conditions nothing is covered unless it goes bang within 48 hours and even then good luck trying to get anything out of them. You would think being in the hall bidding and the car has a clean report which is what you pay for shouldn't really make any difference as you pay for all the checks to be carried out by the morons of aa.

    they have rejected

    your answer is really to suck it up

    or go legal as misrepresentation but this would fail

    my answer is do you need them more than they need you?

    if you have to buy from them  then i suggest you just bite the bullet

    i argued over £125 refund this week with an auction house manager,i got my credit but i know my cards now marked as a *********

    This is why we don't shop at bca that often as said before it is shite

    Hi all, bought a Skoda citigo 14 plate 70k was supplied with a bca report and when collecting it the clutch release bearing is making a right racket contacted the assured team right away as there was no mention of this on the report, had an ace inspector come out inspect the car and even he said it's making a right noise and don't know how they missed it. Just had an email this morning from bca stating it's not covered as it's not slipping but it's making a horrible noise and requires a new release bearing as we can't sell it like this. Now what would be the best thing to do in this situation as this should have been put down as clutch requires attention.

    Policy plan gave ua a really good quote for our policy which was up for renewal and was going to take it out but our insurance company which we have been with for the last 8 years advised us that they are very strict on everything and after reading reviews online about them it seems your not the only 1 they have cancelled after a week and not refunding customers for minor issues. Good luck

    If she was 5 mins round the corner i might be more caring. Im not looking forward to the 6 hour round trip to collect it.

    Rather do 6 hours travelling then 12months of stress if it goes to court
