Growling when cold & noisy violent tickover even when warm

I've got similar issues as per RWhites had on this thread: http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?18697-Noisy-tickover-clonking-noise-please-help!

However, there are slight differences;
I know I'll be needing a new clutch as I can feel mine not disengaging properly when I depress it, however when it is depressed the noises heard aren't gone.
Also, Sarge has identified a broken clip which holds (what I believe) to be one of the intercooler pipes, this rattles around (more than likely due to the incessant amount of potholes and speed humps around London).

I did record some video clips both inside whilst driving from cold after Sarges' service last night, and of the engine bay idling after being driven across London for over and hour tonight.
I apologise in advance for the first two clips whilst driving... Phone was set to 1080p recording... the files are huge (440mb & 700mb respectively).

After reading all the threads I could find on here and other Audi/VW forums, my gut is leaning towards my dual mass flywheel as there's no noticeable loss of power and the majority of the growling when in low revs disappears when the engine is hot. If there was anything else loose or falling to pieces, I'm sure Sarge would have let me know.

If there's any more info I can give, just let me know.


Thanks in advance,

Aaron.
