Yup, bleed nipple on top, and yes has damper too! If something else was amiss before the clutch went...then ok...but as all was well untill the fork gave way, which is why I replaced the clutch, I wouldn't have though any other part of the system would fail! However, just thinking....do you...

Ahhh! That sounds good!!!:D unless Freelaner is right???????:( Could that happen? Really??? I should be concentrating on hydraulics then? Problem is, clutch feels ok, but is not disengaging properly! The clutch is sticking I suppose! Only doing half a job!!! Replaced slave, still same prob...

Just wondering... ...does anyone know what the symptoms would be if one was to put a clutch plate in the wrong way around?:confused: Specifically in my case, on a disco1 300 tdi? I fear I may have done this..:eek: can't see other reason why my clutch ain't workin'! Cheers folks!

Well....that's a thought that keeps ringing round my head....but I made a conscious effort at the time to make sure it was correct. Dos anyone know the symptoms of a clutch plate in the wrong way around? Are they similar!!! :eek: Hope not!!!

thanks wiltshire landyman. Do you think the symptoms suggest these then? The slave diid seem to be leaking a little when I took it out!

Hi folks, Does anyone please have any ideas?.....:confused: ....I have just changed the clutch on my 300tdi. All went relatively well and I was really looking forward to jumping in and going for a run out!!!:dance: However, my plans were shattered when I tried the clutch and it still is not...

Great idea, I had thought of similar too, but unsure as to whether or not the frame could take the weight!!! But, If you've done it... and I suppose it is designed for structural support anyway, so must be able to take a bit!!!

Nice one!! I think I will also get the guide - I know others have used sockets of various sizes, but for the sake of a few quid!! I recall that they're not that expensive!!! Or is that hope...???!!!! It seemed a daunting task initially, but the more folks I read and speak to that have done it...

Thanks, didn't realise!!!!

Nice one, thanks! Surely it's not that bad.....is it? I did consider hiring one, but....cost, farce...etc It seems many have done it successfully with out!

Great, thanks. I'll get some M10 then. I unfortunately do not have access to an engine crane of any sort, so will be shuffling with trolly jack!! Could you just clarify where is best to position the bottle jack for supporting engine? I don't trust my sump to support the weight? Or is that just...

Hey Folks, I'm just about to have a go at replacing the clutch on my 300tdi disco. I think the fork may have gone:doh:!! The pedal has dropped to the floor and does nothing else - all fluids ok, no leaks etc.:confused: A garage replaced the fork for me a year or so ago, but obviously not with...

Well, I've now checked the front prop and something comes to light ! A couple of months ago the water pump bearing went, as this sent the pully off wonky it resulted in the belts coming off and wrapping themselves around EVERYTHING!!! So, the rubber I removed seems to be some remnants of the...

Hi folks, new to this forum so sorry for the long intro post, but if anyone has any further idea's I'd appreciate them. Out of the blue a day ago, my disco1, 300tdi, Manual, started juddering/vibrating. . This seems to be happening only when driving and in gear, so not an engine issue. Not...
