Right. Not broke in an unfixable way, though. Just in a 'fickin nuisance' kind of way.

How did they manage that!

Did it get replaced?

[Jimbob]

Yes. All 4 parts replaced. Using the later parts (Sachs) too as per last time.

Also feels more vibratey and bus like while idling.

I’ve a phone call to make shortly!

Is the DMF actually rattling, particularly when starting?

The extra noise could be front pipe if they messed up putting it back, I seem to remember that when I did it one of the bolts snapped on the front pipe to DPF joint so it was drilled and tapped, maybe they have done similar and not bothered sorting it.

Just started it, and nothing I can notice on startup.

My memory is obviously going back 3 years, but it does sound like it did the last time.  My noise identification has always been crap.

Only noticed it driving slowly in traffic when coasting in neutral to a stop.

Makes you wonder if they tightened the flywheel up properly

According to my local garage the DMF on my Mondeo is going.....it rattles when the clutch is pressed half way, no other point does it rattle....or rattle on start up. It certainly makes it harder to get a smooth pullaway in 1st or into 2nd.

Garage tells me it will start to make a 'banging' noise eventually and to get it changed then.....apparently its a 5 hour job!

Ordered a pair of struts for the tailgate as one has gone and the other wont be far behind. i wonder what will need replacing next on this heap..

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

There will always be something.

Admired the carpet bombing pattern left on the Shaguar by the local pterodactyl 


(Yes, I did have to run that through a spell checker )

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I thought it was spelt Terry ducktail.

Refitted the V70s throttle body[second time of asking as first time it still ran like a bag of spanners ]after convering it to contactless,now ticks over like a Swiss watch and positively sings its way to the red line
