Had to be recovered today and had to be put onto the back of a recovery truck, and taken home.
Out for a run this afternoon. Heard a slight 'bang'/knock from in front of the gearstick area (clutch/bellhousing), which then sounded like something spinning round fast.
Moments later, LOTS of noise, so pulled over fast, think we lost power/momentum, but it all happened so quickly..
Tried to turn over engine, but everything locked up.
Put into gear, and rocked landy backwards a little.
Tried to turn over. It would, but sounded like all my spanners were being thrown around in the bellhousing area.
Suspect the clutch is at fault, so going to split over the nest week.
If I am splitting, will replace the clutch etc anyway.
Sorry for the waffle!
Question is..
Has anybody purchased a clutch kit for a 300tdi lately? Been told from previous owner that our Defender has a Disco 300tdi and running gear init, but age of engine unknown.
Until midnight, there is a discount code at eurocarparts.
Thanks, and any feedback or comments needed!!! ha ha
