Hard clutch pedal 130 Td5

if so much crap fails under warranty, why dont peeps send it back and if so much is sent back why do suppliers still supply it?

Ordered a "heavy duty" one and guess what??? It arrived in a blue fecking box

Not to worry, I have an old one kicking around that I can put some armour on

Sounds like a better idea to me. At least you only have yerself to blame if it does go Pete Tong.

So...separated the engine and found the clucth pedal was hard because the rivets that are on the actual clutch plate have separated,allowing the clutch springs to drop out to the bottom of the plate/cover(at the 6 o'clock position),thus wedge the same plate cover and cause it to jam against the clutch cover plate. This stopped the thrust bearing from moving to engage/disengage the clutch.

The clutch was replaced about a year ago and my buddy has'nt done any great amount of kms either. The clutch material shows good thickness and no real wear...my friend would also point out that it is a Britpart item bought from an independent LR place in the next department....oh well...read from that what you will but to date I personally,have never heard of the plate rivets coming away from any clutch whether in car or 4x4...first time for anything I guess

So....there you have it....just one to file away for possible solutions if another LR owner reports the same problem.

i would be straight on the phone to britparts going mental myself!! please you found the problem! don't forget to replace the fork too. i hear britparts make good one?!

Wow!

Somebod in't Disco bit had exactly the problem with a "Britpart" Clutch!!!

Who in there right mind would fit a "Britpart" clutch, mudflaps maybe, as long as they did'nt have written all over them

You can see the score marks on the inside of the clutch cover where the clutch plate cover was rubbing
