i've heard that noises from t-box on over-run can be symptomatic of wear
in the chain and gear, is this true and if so does it cause any serious
damage to keep driving till i've saved up for the parts.
how easy a job is it to fix anyhow ( i've rebuilt a few series gear
boxes in the past so...)

dunno about fixing it, but I never worried about the noises, just carried on
driving it. 'twas the "A" clutch in the main box that failed first.

the next one I had had a much stiffer viscous unit, mind.

The main failure in the Borg Warner box is the output shaft snapping,
whether your noises indicate it's on the way I couldn't say for
sure.

hi richard do you mean the front or rear output shaft, i think the noise
comes from the front? but trans. noises can travel through the
components and manifest elsewhere.
thanks for your input...steve

before i get into any sorting of the t-box i need to find out why the
200tdi is so smokey and lumpy at startup, in this weather i need a bit
of reliability

In order of checking, dead glow plugs, knackered injectors, mis-timed
injector pump or knackered turbo.

Not forgetting the simple stuff - setting the tappets on
200/300Tdi's can make a huge difference.
