Hi every one i have a skoda octavia 1.9 tdi pd on a 57 plate when ever i press the clutch down in neutral it rattels what could this be the car has done 107000 miles

I had an old volvo which did that.... was the release bearing.

Could be the duel mass flywheel is starting to fail,are you getting any vibrations though the clutch pedal?

i would tend to agree with MBAMES sound likes clutch release bearing. the bearing itself is not that expensive as long as you can find somewhere to buy it seperate. some places only sell clutch kit. but fitting it is is costly. an while your at it you may as well fit a new clutch anyway.

caused by a lot of stop start driving usualy

yeah took it too a skoda dealer today and was told it would cost £300 pound for relese bearing cluch and flywhell conversion (does not included labour)

onother prob has crept up yeterday i was on a steep hill at a set of lights and i put the hand brake and it made a loud clunk and since then that hand brake wont hold the car good usaly on a small hill two clicks of the hand brake and that would hold it fine now i need around 6 cilks to try and hold it, and i changed the pads on the back 2000 miles ago and still plenty of meat left im confused :S

Sounds to me that one of the two handbreak cables have snapped. Replace both cables as it's false economy just to change one. And you'll be pleased to know they don't cost a lot.
