Driving fine, dipped clutch at junction, stalled, re-started with key and kept moving, drove on and heard grinding noise with 3 x AYC bars lit, pulled over, re-started engine and tried driving back/forwards -still grinding. Hubby was using his brain and decided to remove the AYC fuse, this got us on the move again considering we had 2 irritated children in the back this was imperative!! 20 miles on hubby replaced the fuse to find that every thing was back to normal!!
Any ideas would be appreciated,

did the noise happen at any particular speed?
when my diff went i could hear a grinding noise at anything over 70mph...

Sounds like the AYC fluids need changing - which probably means the diff oil needs changing, and the AYC clutch activator fluid. And, if all of these have been neglected, I'd be checking every other fluid as well, and the belts, etc..
