Transmission noise Aero 8 S3.
Updating my earlier post of symptoms - here is the diagnosis.
Firstly, some very kind and valuable input from Mogsport and Brian Miller at High Wycombe. Without even going for a test drive the initial reaction of "that doesn't sound right" became a tentative diagnosis that the dual mass flywheel was at fault.
Today, have returned from a meeting with Mark Baldwin at Malvern, who wanted to have a listen when everything was hot and 'loose'. Started with a road test and as I reversed out of the parking space he quickly explained all the chattering noises. However as we proceeded the explanations died away as Mark crouched closer to the gearbox holding on to the lever and listening intently. Back to the Works and the car was whisked off for a second opinion and further road test.
Diagnosis.....the dual mass flywheel!!!
Car is driveable but something is wrong and Morgan will have the car back in December to fit a replacement and presumably check all is well with the rest of the transmission.
Hopefully then the Chatter will be reduced to a low murmer
