Couild be yer DMF......... (Dual Mass Flywheel) that causing the trouble!!

Have a look at this >>>>>>>>>>>Range Rover P38 2.5 DSE Dual Mass Flywheel problem


Even if IT ISN'T the DMF I take a serious LONG LOOK at it while the gearbox is off !!!!

If the gearbox is working normally and the noise is there at idle, 10 to 1 it's the DMF as Claw says.

If it IS the DMF ..... DON'T go for a replacement ... WAAAAAAAYYYY toooo Expensive just weld the 2 halfs together & re-fit ............ PROBLEM SOLVED

Until the crankshaft fails due to the lack of torsional vibration damping

Highly likely to be that total and utter abortion the DMF. But could be a very much less expensive clutch release bearing. DMFs are designed to reduce the load on engine and transmission in high gears at low RPM. Pity they are crap and fail much too often.

There are quite a few reports of Crankshaft failures on Tddi MK6 Trannies fitted with solid flywheels in place of the DMF

took the box out last night, its the first motion shaft. so need a box, think it will be handier for me to source one here in ireland instead off paying high transit charges to ship one over to me.
thanks for all the help folks.
