DMF Failed.

Don't think so. I replaced that about 60k miles ago and dumping the clutch made no difference. That would have taken any load off it.

my cranshaft damper sounded like the adjuster pulley bearing was let go and the reason i found it was the front pulley damper was that you could turn the fan and the front pulley would turn without the cranshaft turning until the dog clutch engagad you could also turn it back about 1/8 of a turn with same results. It was only by acident i discovered this it also made getting the fan off difficult the new one are about 400 quid from Island but CN 4x4 has used ones for under 100

It does sound like the adjuster pulley bearing going. Mark says when it goes it stays gone. This doesn't. Once gone you have no idea where the noise is coming from. The alternator does sound a little noisy with the screwdriver to the head technique.

when you first start up the slack is taken up and a noise is heard and then it settles down till either the engine is stopped and moves the damper the other way and will maybee make noise again on staetup. try turning the fan one way or the other and watch to see if the pulley is turning without the crankshaft.

Check the adjuster pulley arm is free to move on it's pivot to correctly tension the belt.
