Yeah me to. Took it into work and got messed about no end by my service manager, so i've booked it into the next nearest dealer to look at it. To be fair, they have put 2 new engines in it already for the previous owner.

I had a look through the inspection hole in the bell housing, and there was grease everywhere so it looks to be the flywheel, so i'll have a clutch aswell.

Our master technician was concerned that it might be the rear crank bearing.

I stalled it the other day, and it took a while to crank, its as flat as a fart now, so i reckon it could have jumped the timing which is very common on both styes of N45 engine.
