For all those having a bad day fear not mine is worse

Is that the 1st time the flywheel has gone?

[TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX]

the flywheel never broke the ring gear had teeth damaged and would make it hard to start so i had it replaced when i did the clutch so that was ok apart from the teeth.

If was older it would be cheaper to repair especially pre 99. if it was newer it would possibly be more reliable. early common rail stuff can give alot of grief. sorry to hear its being a pain with the work done it may be spot on and with low miles and good condition at least it was worth putting the money into it.

when i bought my second mog it needed a new clutch with in the 3 month. 3K and off the rd for a month. When i bought my valmet, it needed a new brain with in its 2nd month. £3.5k i lost 9k on an isuzu rodeo in 10 months due to them bringing out a new model 6k cheaper than my one. I have spent fortunes on repairs over the years, lost sleep and hated the world but thats what life is all about, the mog did earn me a lot of pennies and the valmet did me a grand in under an hour one night after a storm. swings and roundabouts mate.
