Discovery having a new clutch and flywheel

This 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 came in with a noise and serious vibration on driving.

It was immediately obvious to us that the dual mass flywheel had failed causing damage to the other clutch components. The vehicle required a new clutch assembly and a dual mass flywheel.

On some Land Rover Discoverys you have to remove the whole body off the chassis to gain access to the gearbox, which is a huge undertaking. Luckily for this customer the gearbox was accessible from underside the vehicle saving them time and money. The job was reasonably straight forward albeit quite a lot of labour and the usual Discovery problems on the way.

All road tested and collected within 2 days.

 

Just to give you a bit of technical information about dual mass flywheels:-

A dual-mass flywheel ( DMF) is a rotating mechanical device that is used to provide continuous energy ( rotational energy) in systems where the energy source is not continuous, the same way as a conventional flywheel acts, but damping any violent variation of torque or revolutions that could cause an unwanted vibration.
