Couple of issues... rattle and steering

Ok, so...

Just got my new tfsi, and already done a couple of bits of preventative work. Cam follower and DV. Overall, I love it...

However:

• I noticed a distinct rattle at idle, that goes away when you dip the clutch. I'm thinking release bearing or DMF :( your thoughts please, which is most likely?
• Secondly, at or near full lock there seems to be some noticeable "give" in the steering. Almost as though a bush has given out, but i can find no obvious evidence of such things, any ideas where to look deeper?
• Anything else you think might be worthy of attention/checking? As shes on 140k, and no doubt not in her finest fettle.

Thanks all.
