The rest of the exhaust is wrapped! And we have wraps for dinner!

Not sure about the color so, the beige is nice, but the surface is not sealed. Not sure how that's gonna work with fording, mud, stones and sand when off-roading... The spray is, unfortunately, not available in transparent. Copper looks ok, I think...

You're only supposed to wrap the headers

Does it hurt so? The tail pipe needs some heat protection, otherwise it is going to melt my bumper end cap!

Would think wrapping past the initial joint, where temps are cooler, will accelerate rot and corrosion.
The exhaust isn't hot enough at the tail pipe to do any damage or the factory would do something about it

Wrapping beyond the engine compartment serves no useful function, and if it is wrapped like that the tail pipe will get hotter, hence the problem.
What causes rot and corrosion is not getting the exhaust warm/hot before stopping and turning off the engine. The exhaust needs to be hot enough that any water vapour caused by burning fuel in the engine gets boiled off in the pipes. If not it will condense in them, sit there and lead to rust. Which is why cars only used for short runs need to change them more often. I cannot remember the last time I changed one on one of my cars, but the wife's which she uses quite a bit for short runs gets the back section changed regularly.

Doesn't really hurt in all fairness.

Can wait, what am I saying, have to wait!

So she found out about your parts stash then

Mines been earning it's keep again, road trip up to Knaresborough with friend of mine to take engine, box, rad and few other bits out of Dodge Durango got there at 8.10 this morning managed to get it out and all loaded up by 5pm got home at 7.45 pm , still had to go bloody shopping before I got my tea!

Bit of a mystery this ...

Driving yesterday and set off and suddenly there was an almighty racket. I thought the gearbox input shaft bearing was toast. Dumped the clutch and then tried to pull away again and it was fine. Did this a few more times on the journey but at one point I kept the revs high and dumped the clutch and the noise kept going. Dropped the revs and then tried again and it was fine.

My conclusion? It isn't gearbox or anything further back, it is engine related. Seems to do it on pulling away but had it once in second gear too. I'm thinking a bearing giving up on something like the alternator or air-con? My aircon failed a few weeks ago so it might be that. It's not been regassed in 10 years so maybe it needed oil?

What does the crankshaft damper sound like when that lets go?

Became hard to hide... Even worse, it caught up with my bank account... Luckily, not a lot is missing: roof tent, tires, distributor, roof bars. And there, only the tires are really required. And the fuel lines and other hoses.

I just hope Allisport takes its time with the radiator! The two diffs and the starter motor came a bit as a surprise, otherwise I am almost in budget, if you count generous enough!

DMF Failed.

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

I had a Subaru Legacy that only use to make a strange noise going down hill and backing off throttle. I later found out it was probably the DMF as per @Datatek. It was a clanging sound like someone was ringing a bell.

It it a dual mass flywheel on the manual they can give the odd rattle and then rattle constantly

 

[Mark Piercy]

The damper makes a right crackling noise and when it goes it's done. They stay noisy and fail full stop, not a intermittent thing
