Mouse in my clutch... V12V
Discussion
The search facility is down again 
... I know this has been covered before, but can someone tell me whether the squeaking clutch issue is a warranty item.. .I've got a couple of other things I want looking at so want to get this sorted too if its deemed to be a warranty item..
Thanks,
Richard.

Well, did 400 miles this weekend. The car was awesome as usual. However the 'chirrpy' clutch noise seem to be worse.
There was also another new symptom, when coasting to a stop comming up to a junction, with the clutch depressed, on two occasions there was a 'pinging' noise almost like something was releasing. there's was no drama.., car performed without fault but I was a little worried. .
It's going in to the dealer on Tuesday with a snagging list so hopefully all will be sorted by the weekend.
List :
Clutch
Rattles in vents / sat nav
Bonnet alignment
Boot closure
Wind noise from drivers side window. (not too bad, but hoping it can be improved).

Well the clutch was replaced just over a week ago... Can't say I've noticed much difference , but havent had opportunity to do much driving since it returned ...
One thing I have noticed though is that theres now a slight judder when doing low speed manoeuvres, for example when feathering the clutch while lining the car up to put it in the garage. Notice it both in first and reverse....
I think this the first time I've had a new clutch in any car that I've owned.... Is there a bedding in period or does it need to back to the dealer?

I have this juddering too. My car now has 300 miles on it. I thought it was a characteristic of the car and am not too worried about it but will mention it when my car goes in for the intermediate tyres to be fitted. The other thing I notice is on start up there seems to be a lot of 'whistling' type noises from the front of the car. They go when the engine is warm so assume again it's normal. The only other problem I have is sometimes I can't lock the car and the radio also stays on after taking the ecu key out of the dash. Think it's a faulty switch in the dash ecu unit .
Has your mouse gone?
Haven't had chance to determine whether the squeak has gone... It was only evident when pulling away in a spirited fashion on an incline.
Will report back when tested properly
