Good evening,
I am posting on behalf of my Dad, who is become very irate as he is being sent around in circles by different garages I hope you will be able to help. Here goes the story;
Dad has had the clutch changed on a 2004 Freelander Td4 after completing 131,000 miles.
The clutch was changed but not the flywheel as he was told they are indestructible on the Freelander. And ever since he has had countless trouble:
Firstly when the heater is set to the windscreen and the brakes are applied there is a whirring sound, like when a child has a can in the tire of a bicycle.
Then there is a judder as he pulls away in first or in reverse.
Also when the engine is revved above 2000 rpm there is a metallic jingling sound.
Our normal mechanic seems to think that the problem lies with the clutch that was fitted.
The garage that fitted the clutch believes that it is the VCU at fault and, a transmission specialist believes it could be the flywheel.
Either way there is going to be a hefty bill incurred but could anybody point me in a direction that could fix it please.
