Potential purchase Exige 380 sport: clutch/trans rattles?

[deeps]

Hi All, any help appreciated please,

I'm looking at buying an Exige 380 sport, under 10k miles.

Apparently there is a noticeable clutch/trans rattle that the dealer says is normal.

Any opinions on that from owners would be great.

And any other things to look out for please?

Thanks for the info everyone.

I've done a lot more research over the last few days, and there is a common rattle or release bearing noise.

I've decided to go for an Exige 410 which has the lightened flywheel and upgraded clutch from the 430.

From what I can gather the 410 is quite some car, has most of the same goodies as the 430 cup... charge cooler, clutch, 3 way nitrons set up more for road use, and apparently is 4kg lighter than the 430 and just as quick.

There aren't many about, but I should be picking one up on Weds, can't wait
