Hi all, hope someone can perhaps advise. Had a few problems with our N-reg Landy 90 300Tdi of late. Firstly, either the master or slave clutch cylinder seems to have been leaking for the past few weeks this has led to the clutch having a bit of play at the top end, though nothing that affected driveability. More recently, there has been some squealing in line with the engine noise/revs, most noticeable when decelerating, so not sure if this is linked in with the clutch situation. Today, things came to a bit of a head in addition to the squealing, now there is an intermittent whistling/air blowing/rasping-type noise noticeable in the cab, and a very intermittent chugging/loss of power. While climbing a hill, this culminated in a bang and full loss of power, but the engine itself didnt stall at the time. Engaging gears didnt result in movement and just stalled for a few minutes, but after a bit of playing about with hi/low gears, the car started to move again, with no signs of what the bang (which sounded just like the bang of a timing belt snapping had that before on a Peugeot) was. Noises were still as bad as ever getting the Landy home, so now shes in evident need of mechanical attention but anyone any ideas of what the problem(s) might be?
