Strange noise.

Hi all.
Not the easiest to way up by description, but here goes. I always put
the clutch in before starting the engine, and when I do I get a short
whiring sound from the rear of the dash, ( rear of Clocks area Etc ),
rather like a dry bearing being spun. Start the engine with the clutch
out, and nothing.

Start the engine with the clutch in again to try and make the noise and
identify where it's coming from, and nothing.
Do you think that this could be the Thrust bearing on its way out and
noise being transfered throught the steering columb somewhere?

It's definitly not any UJ's as I've not even started moving. Just to
note this is a TD5 diesel and I've just picked it up last week so is
still under warrenty, but for peace of mind I'd like to get a rough idea
if it's sound's like a common problem? TIA Dave

Hi dave,
I do have the same problem something especially when its cold outside.
I went to my Land Rover dealer, they heard the sound and said it's the
clutch friction material, but its not a problem they said.
They did not want to repair it; they stated Land Rover the Netherlands would
not pay for the repair.
So I hope it is realy not a problem...

It's the spigot shaft bush. Made from phoshor bronze, it's probably wasn't
impregnated with oil properly. Known problem.
Steve W.

Usually the sound of throwout/thrust bearing going on most vehicles,
which you can often feel as it transfers into your foot. It would
occur consistantly though so it's probably as Steve said.

I'm also new to Landy's
