I'm in Dumfries, just above carlisle mate. I'll try and drive it tomorrow, will either kill it or cure it I guess?

Yeah there was resistance there mate, both on the old and new slave cylinders. I'm baffled by it :(

I can see the push rod pushing the fork through the viewing hole, but when I fitted the clutch kit I tightened all the bolts in an opposite fashion so it pulled it up nice and square?

Yeah mate I fitted a new clutch. I was planning on pushing it out of the workshop in the morning once the clutch has been rebled and driving it to see if that frees anything?

lol, V8 was more of a headache than this! I've extended the slave cylinder rod but maybe not by enough? Going to try extending it more in the morning again, any other ideas are greatly welcomed.

Hi al, I'm having trouble with my clutch here, I have just fitted an engine and box out of a disco 300tdi into my V8 90, went to connect the clutch up, bled it (I assume it was fully bled as there were no more air bubbles coming out) However, when I started the engine, pressed the clutch pedal...

has anyone got any pictures of where the gear stick sits with the disco box in a defender?

you got gear boxes for these mate?

Cheers again folks. Ah I know who you meant mate, their shed is about a stones throw away from my workshop, was round for a natter a couple of weeks ago actually, spot on chaps. I'll bear that in mind mate, cheers.

cheers folks :)

Well, I've sourced an old pipe smoker to do the carbs, however it's away getting the lpg system set up just now, well it's meant to be, but it seems they don't be in any hurry to look at it, so they've got till tomorrow then I'm going to get it if he's not touched it. Grrrr!

Cheers for that mate. Who do you know down here? Where abouts are you based?

I topped up the dash pot oil last night mate. I'll now also be on the hunt for the smell of a pipe and the stench of an old man haha!

No worries mate lol, cheers :)

That was in my mind too mate, I'll do a bit of research on how to set them uo, unless you can shed any light?
