... or better still, don't drive at all.

An old one but still helpful - and it shows the importance of following up..

Thanks interesting - thanks for that. I'll make sure the garage check that out. Its was an OEM that cost about 140 quid. Couldn't tell you the manufacturer I'm afraid.

New engine (well, used) on route to the garage as I write. They will have a look at the clutch at the same time. No sign of oil starvation, or a sump full of nuts and bolts. Looks like a plain old stress fracture.

There you go...

Sorry - meant to say. Its a Manuel, P15, 130K on the clock, well serviced, never thrashed. No noticeable symptoms. Damper replaced a year ago as it had started squeaking slightly.

Puzzled because crank failure seems rare. Sump was coming off today. Not heard anything yet.

Thanks Ozzy. Everyone is puzzled.. The engine has never skipped a beat before. Thing is it starts! It's in excellent condition, regularly serviced, no silly engine mods, never thrashed...

Not the damper apparently.. the damper is off and the camshaft is loose.. they will investing further tomorrow.

That would be nice because I know I have a spare in the back... but would the 'whole' thing move though? If the rubber was gone wouldn't the just the outer move?

Hi All, 2003 Defender td5 A new thread but related to yesterdays shenanigans where I broke down near Carlisle on a long journey north... Got home at midnight after 4 relays over 10 hours and the LR is currently sitting outside a friends garage. I'm trying to understand the problem so I though...

And... home. Next, the diagnosis and prognosis.

Thanks all I'll keep you posted but it may be a while.

It won't be not cheap either way. Ahh well.. Worse things happen at sea I suppose.

that would be nice because I know I have a spare. however The whole assembly is moving and there is a dribble of oil coming out of the casing ..
