Hi guys, I'm still in the early stages of differentiating between faults and "quirks" with my 2000 Disco 2 TD5 Manual. It's developed a real loud metallic rattling only in neutral.

It only seems to happen once the engine is warm after a drive and it goes away completely as soon as the clutch is pressed. It also had a new LOF clutch, single mass flywheel, and release bearing fitted a couple of years ago, before I owned it.

Anyone have any ideas or experience with this?
 
Is it deep rattle or light. Deep and muffled probably just how it's going to be. Light is something loose. Need more info. If you go under while at idle, is it near to the driver's side or center.
 
Same with mine after replacing the clutch.
Seem to remember that I did it on the cheap and didn't replace a bearing.
But you say that you have done the bearing?
 
Seem to remember it was something like a phosphor - bronze bush that was causing the rattle.
Mind you, this was 15 years ago!

It’s a fairly light tinny rattle. Sounds like a loose heat shield rattle but I’ve been under and nothing is rattling outside, sounds like it’s coming from the gearbox/clutch area

Yeah the bearing was done at the same time, it was an LOF kit fitted by Keith Gott so the whole works got done
 
I'm not sure td5 have the bronze spigot bush. I cut them out with hacksaw blades, cutting a slot piece out then pull it out. Yes need to soak in oil for 24hours. I doubt it's that as you would get a drive drone and vibration whilst driving. Rattle light metallic could be from hydrolic push rod on pivot arm. Depends on LOF bits that got put in. They do a spring that holds but it can move and make a rattle. Or when shifter got put back a bracket may be loose. Just need more info. Need to get under whilst running and pinpoint direct area.
 
Not sure how a worn spigot bush would cause a noise?
Maybe get someone to lay underneath and see how she rattles when the engine stops.
