    Is it possibly the hill assist holding the brakes on as it's a gradient?

    I thought hill start assist aswell , mine does exactly the same thing.

    No :( hill start off and still does it. Something to do with how the clutch plate vibrates in reverse. It's a known problem but not recognised as a fault.

    Just had my clutch replaced under warranty for this very reason! I'm surprised they haven't recognised it as a fault yet.

    It was the Dees dealer franchise, this was after I had contacted ford uk to make a complaint about it.

    Is it something that needs fixing as in if you leave it as it is the clutch is on its way out etc or can we leave it? I'm not all that bothered by it?

    I honestly have no idea, however it's a noise that shouldn't be there and a new clutch seems to have solved it.
