TD5 stiff clutch

steventd5 · Feb 11, 2011

Hi,
Total newbie to land rover disco so please excuse if this is a very naive question! Just got an '02 Discovery TD5 and the clutch is very stiff compared to anything I've driven before. Is this normal or a sign of some issue with the clutch?
Thanks in advance.

I assume then you didn't drive test drive any others before you bought it?

Have a look at the weekend at other local disco's for sale and try the clutches on them for comparison

To be honest my clutch on my 2002 td5 68.000 miles seems ok,wife drives it and has never made a comment so it does not sound normal try another td5 .Just pretend you are interested in buying it and take it for a test.

Thanks for the replies. Only driven very old Defenders previously so guess i do need to try a couple of Disco's tomorrow for comparison. Seemed fine to me initially but different story in traffic - maybe i do need to accept that my left leg will get a serious workout!
