The 300 series on clutch pedals did have a sort of 'over-centre' speing on
the clutch pedal - it made it no easier to press but did make it a lot
easier to hold down....

To make light of the clutch it is possible to fit a remote servo ( good but
getting rarer source being off an old Rover car ) to the clutch which will
make it much easier to press.......
I am sure that someone must sell these in a recon state off the shelf
somewhere but I am afraid I know not where.....

Hope this helps a little

There's a remote vacuum servo on ebay at the moment that'll fit a landrover
clutch:-

Hi it sounds to me more like the clutch pressure plate is at fault. I have had the same on my Renault 19 D. The clutch was getting heavyer and heavyer till one day it snapped the cable. So I fitted a new cable and then 3 months later SNAP. I took the pressure plate out and fit a new one then hey presto. Once again a light clutch. I f you are going to change the pressure plate you also may aswell change the clutch as its out to change the pressure plate.
