Noisy clutch.
Neutral, fine. Depress clutch to engage a gear and there is a whine. Release the clutch after engaging a gear, fine.
What's making the noise ?
It has a sheddist kit fitted.

Yup, I'd second that one!
Can be replaced, but will be a gearbox off jobby so can take a while to do!
Changed the clutch & gearbox on Laura's Saxo last month, being French it was a pain in the butt to do, so I'm sure an MG one would be easier! 
Give me a shout if you need a hand

Mate .... that's a good shout, but as my mechanical skills top out and checking washer fluid levels .... It'd be more like me asking you to do it while I provide the tea and conversation. Always willing to learn though !!!!
Just rang a clutch guy, and after picking myself up off the floor at the quote for a new clutch I will be getting in touch I think !

That's handy, as balancing engines/gearboxes on axle stands is a lot easier with 3 pairs of hands!

Fellas .....
I have found a company via Shroonie, which will sell me the release bearing. £20
Guys ... be honest ... can we do this together for a pub lunch on me, or do I get a garage to do it ?
