Spigot bush woes

Freelander1banger · Aug 20, 2022

Hello I recently fitted a new spigot bush while swapping the engine in my td5, new noise today, found the EXACT noise on YouTube and guy said it’s the spigot bush that resolved it. Now I fitted mine with a little grease then tapped it in with a nylon deadblow, and drove it home with a nylon clutch alignment tool. Have I done anything wrong? Is it likely to “bed in” and resolve itself?

If it was not genuine LR that can be the reason, britpart or other cheap ones can do that from the beginning... unless the noise is caused by something else

Genuine LR part only and pre-soak the spigot bush in engine oil prior. (Not sure how scientific/ tested this method is with oil soaking) but I chose to as many had advised to do so!
I’ve not had any clutch noises fingers crossed touch wood!!

Had exactly the same with our TD5, after a new clutch and spigot bush.

Noise went away after a while
