Hi all, when I let off at the biting point with no revs, or very little revs the car really judders, and when I turn the car off, I get a really bad rattle noise; it is also there faintly whenever I let the clutch out?
I'm guessing this is a clutch problem, but as far as I can tell, the clutch is OK and not really slipping or anything?
All help much appreciated as always!

I've had 2 problems on my e30 cab that have caused judering, 1 was the propshaft doughnut at the front was split and the centre bearing, the rubber had split around it.
The other was where the lower arm bolts to the car it sits in a rubber mount, that was split and caused it to judder at low speed and rattle when turned off.
It may be worth checking them out dude!

mincedbeef, cheers mate, have had a look, and as far as I can tell, all looks well!
Thanks bling and zimmer!
I take it a thrust bearing is a clutch out job?
Are we sure it's the thrust bearing?
From cold the car does not judder, but the hotter it gets, it starts to judder on the biting point when you give it only little revs off the line.
Also when in a higher gear at very low speeds, when you put your foot down, you can hear a rattle, but it goes away as the revs rise?
Cheers
