  2. Hi all, this is my second thread here and unfortunately things are getting no better with me and my 'new' 09 plate Focus. I reported last week that the car has developed a rattle which sounds like it's coming from the gearbox area. This happens when the car is at idle and outta gear, especially stood outside the car on the passenger side, it sounds like somethings rattling itself to bits! Anyway, long story short i had to visit the garage last night after work to point out the noise to one of their technicians. He came out saying that he couldn't hear anything, which soon changed into 'yes sir, i can hear that'. After an encounter on the forecourt with two technicians pondering over what the issue is, they mentioned the clutch release bearing or the DMF, but they would take another look today and get back to me. As promised the garage have called to say the car is ready for collections and that the Service Manager has seen the car and has said the metallic rattle coming from the flywheel/clutch/gearbox is normal, but when i asked where i stand if one of these fail after my initial three months warranty ran out the garage have gone silent. They promised me a call back but that was hours ago! A little twist to all of this though, is that i have just found an email from the dealer principle sent to me yesterday. This is in reply to my first complaint two weeks ago about the accelerator failing - i've emailed him back to say that issue has been resolved and explained what is now going on, asking the same question above regarding the warranty and what happens in regards to any failures after the warranty has expired - given that the problem was reported within the initial three month period! For all you lovely people out there though, any ideas where i would stand legally if the worst was to happen? Thanks Dean
