Clutch plate rattling?
Clutch plate rattling?
It could well be the bearing behind the clutch mechanism, mine went bad after it was soaked in water.... Errrr..... For four hours
it's held on by a circlip once the clutch is removed. Watch out for the shim if you remove it!!! Unfortunately I broke the circlip end of the bearing shaft on my compressor 
it's been loctited on for over a year now

Same here - leak at top right corner of condenser. New condenser, problem solved.
(That's top right when viewed from driver's seat, as per standard JLR procedure.)
Result, some manufacturers demand the drier to be replaced as well for the guarantee. Worth asking
I try to spray some wd40 or similar the day before trying to remove something... Good luck?
On a different AC note:
Will a pressure test adequately check a system? Mine was tested and refilled hence assume no leaks. However AC does not cool :-( Cold at compressor/pipe in engine bay, and compressor just cycles on/off every few minutes.
Is there a good idiots guide on the AC system to troubleshoot?
