Clutch Query

Hey Folks ,

I posted this in the General section and was asked to post it in the FL section so have done so , all advice appreciated.

Looking for advice , own a 2004 FL 1 Diesel from new & just covered 85,000 miles with FSH. Noticed a few weeks ago when I am changing gear the pedal does come back up but occasionally I have to put my foot under the pedal to hear it click I would say about 0.5CM to bring it back to normal sitting position.

Put it to the local garage and without taking it for a run said the clutch is starting to wear, never towed or been off road with it.

I have no Clutch Fluid loss and not sure what to do or replace first.

Got a quote from the local Stealers on Genuine parts etc see below .

Flywheel - £749.59

Flywheel Bolts - £17.68

Clutch Kit - £199.35

Clutch Bolts - £9.60

Slave Cylinder - £148.92

Master Cylinder - £133.24

Labour - £900.00

Plus 20 % Vat

Nearly the price of a FL 1 .

Would appreciate any advice as not wanting to get rid of the old deer either.

Regards,

RizzleKicks

Forgot the flywheel. They're reported to last 2 clutches. 85 K is about right for a TD4 clutch to be done.

£900 for labour is a lot too, I'm assuming that's an LR quote.

Replace everything else with OE or quality aftermarket, and you'll make a big saving on dealer prices.

Wow £900 labour, that is the cost for the whole clutch with DMF etc where I had my FL1 done when I had it.

That thread isn't relevant in this case, as it was a discussion about the 1.8 petrol, which uses a different system to the TD4.
