I had a flywheel done under warranty a few months ago and the same symptoms have returned....

The question is do I take it back to them and get it done completely free as the one they put in isn't up to the job, and because they have the records there will be no fuss about replacement ORRRR do I take it to my specialist to do the work and risk the warranty company (who are part of the evans halshaw guarantee group) causing a fuss about it and risk more agro?

Do they actually know what they're doing? (skills wise) I'm skeptical

My thoughts...
.
The dealer buys the parts, they are a set of complex components assembled into the flywheel , the clutch pressure plate and thirdly the friction plate.
.
If the fault was say the car not steering straight then you could attribute it to the mechanics not reassembling correct ; however as your fault is with the function of the parts as sourced by the dealer I don't believe you can say its the mechanics fault; it has to be the component manufacturer to take the blame and re supply .
.
I would reccomend you take it back to the repairing dealership and let them fight it out with the warranty company and components supplier as to which of them funds the costings.
.
Do please let us know how things progress.

Kind regards from Fred.

MY12 HSE 2.2 SD4, Sumatra Black - gone after 10 months/43,000 fault-free miles

would not trust evans halshaw to change a battery,i had the dreaded diff issue and they replaced with a new diff,a short while later the new diff exploded,it was not the manufacturers fault but the numpty so called mechanic who filled up the new diff with too much diff oil,after a heated argument with manager i had it sent to a lr dealership to replace with another new diff and the correct quantity of oil(0.7ltrs)so i would demand they send it to a reputable dealer if i were in your position.

I wouldn't take my push bike to EH let alone a Freelander

They can be tricky.....

the problem with garages like this is that they actually cause more damage than good

and you end up with more problems than you had to start with !!

this is what has always worried me, I've never trusted them.

Just thought I'd update - the vibration in 2nd gear was in fact caused by play in the front driveshaft, the gearbox and flywheel are fine. They use parts from Brookwells so they aren't cheap Chinese copy parts. All covered under warranty so no issues really.
