My 200tdi engine had been stood for a while before i put it into me defender.

The clutch plates had stuck together as a result and needed to be broken free once i got the engine running.

Its all free now and working, however, when setting off (In first) i get a noisey whiring/grinding noise at the bitting point until the clutch fully engages.......

Is this simply because of the plates were once stuck together and have made a rough/notchy surface? Will it become less noisey when the plates wear in and make a smother surface again?

Cheers, Scott

It's either going to sort its self out, stay like this an work, or disintegrate it's self. Only time will tell.

I know there expensive but it may well have been worth taking the plates off the fly wheel and freeing them / replacing it before you put the engine in!
 
Yeah cheers guys il just have to wait and see. I did put a new release bearing in so hopfuly the plates will smooth off a bit! Fingers crossed
