When i pull away for a split second there is a grinding noise but then dissapears as the revs build up, sounds a bit like some sort of bearing, theres no noise if you rev the car out of gear just when you pull away any ideas!

hmmm, sounds similar to what i had, dont quote me on it but it could be the prop shaft thats needs attention, i had mine done, had to get a new prop shaft copling and a few other bits that goes with it. Got rid of the noise.

not really, depends what else needs doing, i had to get a new clutch fitted along with it so I paid quite a bit. It will need doing eventually, cant drive around with it like that mate, i did that for a 8 months till i finally got round it, wish I done it sooner because it makes a difference not having that noise as its annoying!

Could be your centre bearing. Worth checking out yourself if you can coz they aren't hard to change.
