just been to my mates, as i pulled off in first there was a loud clunk noise, and it now makes this noise everytime i pull away, heres a little video of my going back and forward up my drive.

the sqeek/creek happens when i lift my clutch and start to pull its quite loud.

also theres a funny smell coming from the engine since this happend today.

clutch release bearing knackered?
no idea mate, i had the g60 clutch conversion done few months back, and had a very slight sqeek when lifting clutch ever since, but today, its turned into that

if it is clutch release bearing, how much am i lookin at to fix it?

i'm no expert but if it is that then its essentially the same labour wise as changing the clutch, you can get a LUK release bearing for about £10, from vw I think they are more like £40.

Does it drive ok? is it ok releasing the clutch when youre driving or is there noise then? do you get a judder or anything or purely the noise?

The car drives ok, no juddering or anything. just the noise when lifting the clutch

been to garage today, the under engine dog bone mount has gone  :angry:

when ringing the scrappy does it have to be off a 1.8 t , or will any do?
