Problems with my 1ltr

[gazza_no7]

When i start my car up sometimes it will be sat at about 800-1000 rmp which i think is correct? but others it will be sat as high as 1100 rmp or as low as 500 rpm which is abit annoying...

Also when i put my clutch in my revs will drop to 500 rmp and it will almost stall and my engine make a low shaking noise, sounds horrible... happens mainly when im changing gear to slow down or stopping...

There is a slight vibrating/rattling noise when i rev my car too, only started doing it a day ago and dont have a clue what it is, i thought it would be the little cover thing on my engine (plastic thing) so i took that off but its not that...

forgot to add that sometimes when i take corners abit fast the hand brake light comes on too...

Could do with some help guys as i dont know what it is!

is this when u are driving slow?

[gazza_no7]

Yeah if im turning around or something...

I have been looking around the internet and i think these are what my problems are

ICV is either f**k or just needs replacing

i might need new ball joints for the knocking noise when turning

Still cant find out anything about my clutch and the engine making a weird noise...

the knocking noise is probs a cv joint if its at low speed when turning.
