D2 Clutch

[LandyAndy]

Hi Guys
My D2 TD5 has had the groaning spigot bearing for well over 2 years.Always the same groan from a cold start till a few ks and all is good.
Last saturday I stopped after a trip up to the city and back and the clutch pedal had quite a vibration pulsing thru it.I double depressed it and all went good,has done a return trip again with no issues.
If I lightly rest my foot on the clutch pedal whilst starting I can briefly feel the same vibration.
Doesnt slip,gearchange and clutch action seem normal for my D2.
Ideas please.
Thanks
Andrew

It's a dual mass flywheel.
This part of it is worn even though the clutch will still be fine.
I had the same symptoms, spigot noises and pulsing but clutch was fine.
200K Km's for the flywheel clutches only lasted 100K Km's.

I don't know if this is correct, a Landy repairer told me that the D2 flywheels cannot be machined like the D1s.

yep, had the same symptoms about 200,000 ks. replaced flywheel and clutch. Also replaced slave cylinder and master around same time.

Also replaced slave cylinder and master around same time.

I would reccomend this to anybody.
The master cylinder chewed up the return spring some 10K Km's after the
flywheel replace. Was a bit of a bummer to bleed though.

The flywheel is a two part system and does not only wear on the clutch area.
Dont know if it can be machined but it's not worth the effort anyway.
Rather fork out the money and have one that will last another 200000Km's.
