an oil change can work wonders, maybe worth a try?

my money is on the garage saying release bearing.

which means gearbox off. and it would be really daft not to fit a new clutch why its off.

you are right they have said bearing going to try changing the oil in the gear box can anyone point me in the right direction where the filler cap is on the gearbox on a 1.8 petrol engine on the d9 model please

changed the oil in the gearbox and the noise has gone and the gear change is silky smooth, while is was doing that also changed the oil in the engine what a differance that will teach me for skipping a service. Normally have it done with the mot last year skipped it because only covered 6k not be doing that again.

Can't see how it could be the release bearing if it only happened in 3rd and you're not feeling any excessive vibration through the pedal...
