Hi guys,
Thanks for a great forum.
My Rover 45 started getting noisy (like a loud whirring / screaming from the clutch area) when the clutch was engaged a few weeks back, and seemed to get a little bit worse recently. A video of the noise it was making can be seen at the following link:

This morning I tightened up the grub screws holding the clutch to the shaft, and it "seemed" to stop the noise at the time. Next time I ran it though (this arvo), the noise was back. I tried tightening the grub screws again, but one of them just kept on spinning, obviously not great. Decided to pull it all down and take a look. Removed the engine (very easy - thanks to DeeJay's video - cheers) and the clutch slid off with no dramas at all. I've attached some photos of what it all looks like.
I'm guessing you'll want me to pull the clutch cone apart for more photos?
Also, I'm assuming I will need a new "key" for the engine shaft, a new grub screw to replace the one with the thread issue, and perhaps even a new "engine side clutch half"? Anything else I should be adding to the list? Very happy to take your advice, as I don't really know what I'm doing
Cheers,
Damian
