clutch plate material being glazed over which I find hard to believe.
Yeah that seems to be the result of my Googleing (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

Unless it's a real problem I'd live with it until you want/need to change it.
Yeah, it doesn't seem to be effecting the performance..yet.

Thrust Bearing?
Maybe but don't you normally get a rattle/whine on depress?
Sounds like thrust bearing . . . .

No. Not until it completely destroys itself, anyway.
Although irritating, I've put thousands of miles on a car with a knackered thrust bearing . . . I'd just keep an eye ear on it for now.
If you think it could be glazing just drag the clutch several times to produce that lovely "just cooked clutch" smell . . . that'll take of any glazing i'd suggest.

Fair enough.
Yeah, it's very intermittent, not done it since Sunday and before that it was the previous Tuesday. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/dontknow.gif)
See what happens..so long as it gets us to the Airport and Hastings and back I'm not bothered (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wink.gif)
Still drives fine and still returns around 60mgp.

60mpg.
Impressive! I've been doing some CP style driving of late (2k gear changes, little brakes, etc) Best I've achieved has been 34.2mpg in a 1.8 petrol. It's a whole different ball game compared to these diesels!
To be fair that's the average over a week (1 tank) driving ~120 miles a day, most of it on the motorway at 70 mph
More like 45-50mpg around town...I guess.
