2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 PU Orkney Grey

New clutch. New rattle

Just had the clutch and front brakes changed as a £1.2k precaution and I now have this rather noisy rattle at idle.

It disappears when the pedal is depressed and when revved to 2k+ any ideas?

Forgot to say the output shaft was replaced and greased at the same time. All clunking has vanished.

Did you change the dual mass flywheel?

2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 SW Keswick Green

I don't think any of the Puma Defenders have a Dual Mass flywheel?

How many miles has it done since you changed the clutch?

Which clutch was fitted? I understand a lot of the uprated clutches tend to rattle at idle. There's quite a few threads on here about it.

Yep, mine’s a slightly tweaked 300Tdi, so I went for the LOF powerspec (I think) - uprated anyway.

When the gearbox is cold - no noise; when it warms up and the oil thins, it chatters away.

I got in touch with Luke at LOF and Dave Ashcroft (who’d supplied a rebuilt gearbox) and am told it’s just one of those things, but that it will do no harm. Just the gears chattering together, but not wearing.

I’ve pondered a sound deadening blanket but not got too bothered yet. As in the OP it’s only when idling that it’s an issue. Donald

It was just a case of it bedding in. All rattles have gone thankfully.
