Hi Aaron,

This is a bit out of my field but I was just reading on another forum about a guy who had a similar problem with his 2.8td and it ended up being a loose bolt on the crankshaft balancer.

Seeing as this is a common fault with the 2.8s I think it is worth checking.

I hope you get it sorted.

Cheers Rodney
