Jaguar x Type 2.0D SE - Jag X Type 2.0D Flywheel questions - Cartos

Hi all,

I was wondering if some of you clever people could answer a couple of quick questions re flywheel issues. I have been told that it sounds like the flywheel on my Jag X type is on its way out. Beginnings of the dreaded knocking noise are detectable particularly when the car is cold.

How safe is it to drive for a while with this potential issue looming?

I had an initial quote of £910 to replace flywheel and clutch - ouch! Does this sound about right? Is there a cheaper alternative fix?

Any answers very welcome.
