Solid flywheel for TD5 opinions please...

[cosworth]

replace a dmf with a solid on td5 defender approx 18months ago.

van is worked V hard towing and carrying every day

no noticeable difference in actual performance except an annoying rattle from the clutch release bearing (I think) - ie rattles when sat in traffic at a stop in neutral without the clutch depressed.

 

That noise you have is a worn spigot shaft bearing the brass collar thats in the back of the crank. should have been changed when you had the flywheel, makes the spigot shaft rattle.it goes away when you press the clutch in??
