i've heard that noises from t-box on over-run can be symptomatic of wear in the chain and gear, is this true and if so does it cause any serious damage to keep driving till i've saved up for the parts. how easy a job is it to fix anyhow ( i've rebuilt a few series gear boxes in the past so...)

dunno about fixing it, but I never worried about the noises, just carried on driving it. 'twas the "A" clutch in the main box that failed first.
the next one I had had a much stiffer viscous unit, mind.
The main failure in the Borg Warner box is the output shaft snapping, whether your noises indicate it's on the way I couldn't say for sure.

hi richard do you mean the front or rear output shaft, i think the noise comes from the front? but trans. noises can travel through the components and manifest elsewhere. thanks for your input...steve
Good point - it's the rear.
Richard
before i get into any sorting of the t-box i need to find out why the
200tdi is so smokey and lumpy at startup, in this weather i need a bit of reliability cheers steve
In order of checking, dead glow plugs, knackered injectors, mis-timed injector pump or knackered turbo.
Not forgetting the simple stuff - setting the tappets on 200/300Tdi's can make a huge difference. Richard
