Very irregular visitor here, so hello again....
2000 TD5 110 CSW 175k, driving round Reading Friday and suddenly horrible deep rumble/grind under power esp pulling from about 30 in 4th. Can drive past it in 3rd to 35+ then tease it in 4th through to little rumble above that.
Found that with transfer box in neutral and gearbox driven horrible bag of spanners noises - worst in 3 or 4, but all gears, engine speed not gear output speed related.
Guess that rules out props and diffs/cv's (put in a new LH cv few months ago but seems 100%.) - and transfer box too?
So, anyone else had this? thinking.... dual mass flywheel? clutch/ rod/release bearing/mechanism (had 2 rumbling sessions from that last few weeks but went away and very different to this new effort.)? gearbox bearings?
Has leaks from input seal and both outputs from TB, but had levels checked on way home and just a couple of squirts needed in gearbox.
Will have box off anyway so new clutch etc. on the cards whatever - any recommendations or stick with LR oe kit?
Had new clutch at 80k - not worn but spigot bush worn away to nothing in places - what the heck does a spigot bush do and could this be the culprit? and why would the previous one have chinks chewed out of it?
I'm guessing the friction plate will be similarly unworn (very light on clutch plates in this house), but all the operating mechanism needs doing while in there so bite the bullet and do the lot.....
Is the flywheel notorious - and do the symptoms tally at all anyway? Again - LR oe or someone else's?
Will get oil seals and release bearing done at same time, any other 'do it while its apart' items recommended?
Any hints/suggestions/recommendations gratefully received. Cheers, AA
