I have just got myself another 110 TD5 which has had a new clutch and gearbox fitted. It used to be my mates and hes spent a canny bit on getting stuff done, the latest being the clutch and gearbox.

I swapped him for my TD5 90 yesterday and had a bit of a play with it this morning.

Started it up this morning and sounds rough as a badgers on idle, like its missing maybe? Nothing like my other 110. I took it for a drive to warm up and got back and when in neutral with the engine ticking over there is a loud ticking/grinding noise which disappears when the clutch is pushed, any ideas whats wrong???

Any help appreciated

clutch release bearing?

Has the new gearbox got oil in it?

it's a doozle so wot you expecting?? they all have noisy clutches, go read year Haynes...

As above... sounds like clutch release bearing. My symptoms are that just now and again when I fire her up the I get a whirring rattle and as soon as I press the clutch it goes and stays gone when I release it. It's 3 years since I bought my 110 knowing of this fault... works just fine. If it aint bust I don't fix it.
However.... again as above check the correct gearbox oil is in it.
