A couple of things, need some advice!!!

[Foxy-jim]

Hi all, just have a couple of things that are worrying me on my 306 and wondered if anyone can help.

1) When I accelerate hard in 1st gear sometimes I can feel something clicking through the pedal. Only happens in this gear though no other???

2) Sometimes when idling after a drive, there is a loud ticking noise that sounds as if it is coming from the engine. I press the clutch in and I stops. If I take it off sometimes this stops it others it just carries on.

Any advice with either is much appreciated.
