Hows your dad getting on with the 'box?

interesting, it seems like it might have been a transitional noise from the front of the engine as the power steering pump is shot. Neither problem by itself gives a totally satisfatory answer to the symptoms I've had described to me.

Mines gotten to about 130K Km before its become a big problem and its now at 160ish Kkm and will probabley stay in till 200K Km when I pull the engine to do the clutch, mounts, radiator and a few other bits n pieces. my book says if the clutch is coming off so does the flywheel.

I had to replace a dry - noisey crank shaft pinion bush at 180,000kms on the Disco and had the flywheel checked at the same time. I was able to rotate it about 2cm by hand (1cm in either direction) and was told by a Land Rover whizz that this was quite normal - within spec. We have done just under 70,000km since without a problem.

10mm either side of center is about the nominal movement for the flywheel the best way I have been able to work out how to check the movement is one of 2 ways

first off wind the engine by hand up against the gearbox in gear till you just get contact on the gears and then see how far you can twist it.

second is the same but you go in via starter motor and measure it up off of the ring gear teeth.

Not super accurate but it will give you a rough idea.
