TD5 Crank Damper now obsolete?

Hi all,

My TD5 110 is doing a budgie impression when switching off, at 155k miles I'm suspecting the damper, when pricing up it appears to be no longer available from LR? The britpart one is listed at £380, and allmakes at £700+ (!)

From previous threads I was expecting about £380 for a genuine one so has BP taken over supplying oem ones?

At £750 I'll let it pop and put a low mileage disco engine in!

I had a look on turners website knowing that they don't sell tat. Their damper is britpart and in brackets they state that it is the 'only available option'. I'd give Frida a ring and see what they reckon to them - at least you'll get an honest opinion, but it looks like it might be the only option.

Island 4x4 also have britpart ones at 199 plus vat.

Hmm haven't investigated the belt too closely, I just assumed the chirp was the pulley, it's only on switching off the engine and it's been getting worse, the belt is relatively new since I fitted my air con compressor, I'll investigate a bit more thoroughly in daylight tomorrow!

When I changed the belt to a lesser known brand I had a lot of squealing. Switched to Dayco and reduced to a chirp when shutting down.

Try switching air con on and run the engine for a while, switching off while the compressor is engaged. Chirp likely to be louder. Try staring the engine while compressor is engaged. Does it squeal ?
