Mine does this now and again. Didn't Rover use a different clutch plate for a while in 2003, made from another material or less the springs or something.
They later reverted to the old type when they found out it was no good.
Nothing to worry about though I believe.

Mine does it occasionally, my local rover dealer told me, before it all went t-its up that there was a factory bulletin about it, there was not a problem but i can't recall the reason, perhaps someone can find the factory information? sounds like a cow mooing!!!!!

Hu,

yes, Rover changed the clutch plates during project drive. They hadn't springs (torsion springs) any more and so they may make sometimes a vibration noise.

There was a bulletin to Rover dealers to change without costs for the customer.

Regards
