"Dodgy flywheel"
Would second that - intermittent rattle when idling is often due to a DMF on its way out . You may also begin to notice some vibration - which will get more noticeable over time .
Have a good look at the mounting low down at the back of the engine/gearbox.
This can cause vibration when moving off - you need to get under the car to check it properly
