Hi all,
My 90 TD5 (which had been brilliant so far) has developed a bit of a problem. I've spoke to the specialists i always use and it looks as though its the dual mass flywheel which is going to need replacing. I'm planning on doing this myself (good idea?) but I'm only going to have a weekend to do it in so I could really do with having all of the parts together before i start so i thought I would ask you guys if any of you can think of any of those silly little parts which always seem to hold up a job which i might need?
Is the Valeo flywheel good? I'd much prefer to keep it as a dual mass flywheel rather than putting in a single mass one and it seems to be the one which most people are going for...
Would it also be worth doing the clutch at the same time while it's all out of the car? It's on 113k and although I've not had any problems with it and it feels okay i cant see any evidence in the paperwork of it having been replaced any any point before i had it...
I'd also quite like to swap the transfer box for a disco one while it's all out. What are the common things to look out for on the transfer box? What kind of tests can be done to see if the box is in good condition outside of the car?
Sorry for all the questions but you all know much more than me! I might also try and do a photo "How to guide" for anyone else who needs to do the same in the future.
Cheers, Tom.
