Hello
I wonder if anyone could offer me any advice.
Twelve months ago I had a clutch replaced in my Defender TD5 at a garage. Since that date the vehicle has done just 3000 miles and last week I noticed the clutch was slipping once again. I contacted the garage that had done the original clutch replacement and they offered to drop the gearbox and investigate the problem.
The clutch was found to be knackered but they told me that the cause of the problem was the flywheel which had worn and sadly it was not covered by warranty. They replaced the flywheel and replaced the clutch at a cost of about £950.
Last Saturday I went to collect the vehicle and on the way home the oil warning light started to flicker. I checked the oil and it is full to the top mark on the dipstick so there is no shortage of oil.
I know for certain that the oil light was not coming on prior to the flywheel being replaced.
What I am asking is there any possible connection between the the flywheel and clutch being replaced and the oil light and of course what should I do.
My mechanical knowledge is very limited so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks John
