it sounds like your clutch is not done up properly, the bolts may have come loose,i wouls not drive it until you've had a look.
could have broken a couple of bolts or your flywheel may be loose too?????, it's hard to say for sure but i'd be investigating

Sorry, but an update, i have found that if i turn the key very quickly to let the starter spin without starting the engine, everything sounds normal.... but then if i let the engine start, then just before it does a loud clang bang noise comes from somewhere - sounds like the gearbox when your in the car, but i doubt this as once the car is started it runs like normal (except for the vibrating clutch pedal)
I'm pretty stumped, anyone else got any clues??
Cheers.

The thrust bearing was also a bit noisy before, but now there it is making a much louder and rougher noise...
