For a few days the truck has been making this funny clacking noise intermittently....thought it sounded like its coming from the gearbox or diff. Then yesterday on way home, I pulled over to let a car past and the truck wouldn't get going again! Was just making a zzzzzzzzzzz noise from gearbox like something was spinning but not connecting. I could stick it in 6th with handbrake on and let clutch out and it wouldnt stall or anything....just zzzzzzzzz!! Anyway I had a 20 minute walk to get a phone signal (we havent got 3G everywhere let alone bloody 4G) to ring green flag and when I got back I sat there fiddling with selector switch....clutch down clutch up...engine stopped then running...basically just trying anything I could. Eventually I got it (whatever "it" is) to engage and I had drive again.
Can anyone shed any light on what this might be? Loathe going to stealer as they seem to just throw a mass of parts at it and hope one will fix the problem...at my expense!
It's a manual and a 2009 and I've done some miles in her - 160k!
