Clunk, Bang, Loss of drive, one angry geordie pushing....
Decided I am going to work bank holidays in future, it must be more fun than pushing the f@cking thing to safety!

Anyway, pulling away from a junction, got a clunk as I engaged the clutch, got half way into the traffic and got a loud bang and total loss of drive.

What are my likely causes (clutch, shaft?), and roughly how much should I expect?

110 2.4 2011.

Thanks in advance

Could be anything, most obvious is to make sure the transfer box hasn't jumped into neutral...

Will it drive with the diff lock engaged ? http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/

Transfer box is engaged, didn't try the diff lock, but couldn't engage any gear only got grinding whirring noise.

It got recovered on a flatbed.

Is that what happens when the output shaft gives up?

It has had a clutch 20k miles ago. 2 LandRovers, and counting!

Oh no not another one! Adapter shaft spline failure between gearbox and transfer box, well known problem I'm afraid.

If it drives with difflock engaged, then most likely halfshaft/drive flange spline failure. If it doesn't, most likely the gearbox output adaptor shaft.

Had to have mine taken back to dealers on a flatbed too. Adapter shaft spline failure loss of drive in any gear but engine running fine. Total bill at dealers was about £600 but after many phone calls JLR made a good will payment of 50%

Have a read of this thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic36916.html

So it has been confirmed to be the output shaft.

Getting repaired today. 2 LandRovers, and counting!

Yes all greased. To be fair it has never been so smooth, which is quite annoying. 2 LandRovers, and counting!

"Grinding whirring Noise",..Yeah, exactly the noise we got when Gracie's output shaft failed a few weeks ago,..she ended up on a flatbed too!
All fixed now though, Pickles.
