Could have taken the transfer box out but that would have only affected front wheels, if it was the transfer box, even when you were in 4WD you should have been getting drive at the rear wheels still.

The fact that you get no drive now at all means it's got to be the clutch, I've just done mine, I'd say click the project thread link in my signiture but as you're not a paid up member you wont be able to see the thread, I've done a well documented write up on the job and did it on my own, on the drive for under £200, depends how handy you are with the spanners.

If you do want to get rid of it let me know

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I think you have been given the correct diagnosis, but it might be worth checking if the 2-4 wheel drive select gear lever hasn't been thrown into neutral.

If you select 2 wheel drive high, do you still have no drive ? EDIT just read your original post, looks like you tried that.

Couldn't you nip it down to Scripp's garage in Aidensfield lol.

There have been a few reports of clutch failure, clutch material breaking away from the plate, is there a common factor?

Are they all original clutches fitted to the tdi version, if so between what years?

Having the earlier non intercooler, with original clutch, I would be aware of failure for this model, so either the clutch material is different, or Renault have done another cost saving exercise.

Or it could be a poor batch of friction material.
Clearly the tdi has more power than the td, this might have an effect, just seems odd.

transmission wind up you cant drive in 4x4 mode on hard ground excuse my ignorance why not??? if the hard ground (Road) is icy or snowy i thought that was what the 4x4 feature was for????? this being the reason I got a 4x4 as winter here is icy snowy an bleak its a 1st I have heard you cant drive on roads in 4x4 mode whats point owning one then if they only good for off road an mud??? I might aswell just go buy a freelander permanent 4x4 if this is the case with terranos but then freelanders dont have the towing capability

Hi and welcome aboard. I do know that you are not supposed to use 4wd on hard surfaces, wheels need to be able to spin slightly to release tension. To be honest it sounds like clutch has failed but others will be along to give a bit more advice I'm sure. Happened twice on my truck the friction plate of the clutch basically rips apart hence the noise.
