I was only in with them yesterday, I picked up a set of pressed plates for the daily, for when the current ones draw the wrong attention
What did you do to your car today?

Yep, got rid of rust. Touch of primer and then 2 coats of gloss black spray and a final of satin.
Has a big impact nice one
Decided to take on the rattle that has been driving me nuts recently. Got to the bottom of it though - exhaust hanger rubbers had dried up and shrunk over time, pulling the backbox upwards. Tip of the pipe was just about touching off the car so at some revs was clattering away off it.
Replaced (with more sweat and cursing that I expected) with longer hanger. Sorted....
But that then drew attention to a second lot of rattles. Tore the boot trim apart and found a bloody tab after breaking was knocking around inside the trim. Removed, trim back on and not even the slightest bit of noise now on the bumpiest of roads.
But that drew attention to a slight squeak when I press the clutch.
F*ck it. I turned up the radio.

Aye that's the next hunt, never noticed it before, only noticed after quieting all the other random noises that had taken my attention the last while. Delighted with meself til noticed it and went ahhh feck it, radio on,problem solved for the moment.
I've the same thing on both clutch and accelerator pedals, so I'll try this. Thanks
Had the same issue with the clutch but wasn't the pedal. Ended up being this spring.
You might be onto something there, I'll check that later. It does sound like a creaky spring alright.
