Yes though it sounded a bit dear as well but at least it is being done by someone who knoes what they are doing. Anyone else care to divulge what they paid or would expect to pay for the above?Quote:

Mines been "wailing" whilst cold(first 2 or 3 shifts) for 12 months or more.Made some interesting chirping sounds tonite,the sort of sound you dont want to hear when you are off on a holiday trip next friday.
Im thinking the pilot bearing is ill!!!!! but only when cold(is there a god up there???)
Andrew
Well the spiggot bearing has been wailing for some time now in mine. When you hold the clutch at say half you get a wine which disapears when clutch is released or pressed fully. Also clutch has been slipping for a while to the point that when towing the other day and pulling off up to road speed, if I gunned it too hard it would slip and car would just rev slightly till I backed off. Been doing this for sometime now as well so figure it's time to change it before it lets go on the side of a rock face 3 hours from home:DQuote:

Hi Mick
Sounds like mine is taking the same track as yours.
At least Im not getting any slip just that horrible wailing whilst cold.
Andrew
I have been getting that as well. Been doing it for a couple of months now. Better start saving for that new clutch :(Quote:

PS,thats a nice write up you have for your D2,I must get around to doing the same for BlackBetty.
Andrew
the whine may also be the thrust bearing on the way out....
It's only just noticble when cold. Will see how things pan out. It's done 223,000 kms so should probably get the headgasket and dowls done before things get ugly.
Yeah I am on the limit of Characters for Signatures. Will have to inquire about getting it extended a little ways.
