A dodgy clutch release bearing sound like?
I've been getting some squeaking when the engines cold for a few months now & looking around these forums I thought it might be the auxiliary belt but I've just changed that( I also started the engine without the belt to rule out the tensioner & alternator) but its still there. I had a new cambelt & water pump fitted a couple of years ago. I've also noticed that at a standstill depressing the clutch effects the sqeal. The thing is its not a regular sqeak it comes & goes and on the odd occasion in the mornings it doesn't do it at all!
Also I'm getting a vibration rattle which I now know is the cover around the cat which is loose & can be wobbled about by hand. Does this need to be on the cat or can it be removed? I initially thought it was the heat guard on the manifold as it had corroded around one of the fixing holes but I've replaced that.
Thanx

If you push the clutch in and it goes away, there's your problem.
