Mine is worn enough and has a ridge, but works fine. (40000miles). Last time mine was rattling it was because I had to much slack in the cables.
The bush in the mounting plate is very easily removed, but be aware it is pushed out from the inside. I remove them using a vice and either 9 or10mm socket (cannot remember which) on the inside and a 21 mm on the outside. Bushes are around £45 each. It will do no harm to replace it. The plate is around £125
D'Oh! Too much slack in cables - that'll be the first thing to check then! Thanks, I should have thought of that. Haynes specification says 1.5mm cable free play (but not how it's measured) but the text says half a turn on each of the adjusters - I guess it's just a matter of finding the sweet spot really.
