Defender clutch

Has anyone managed to modify a 110 county to allow the clutch to operate a bit easier.

It doesnt look like it ! I can't help with any mods but I just had all that lot out to change the master cylinder. I need all the travel in the standard setup. With it all adjusted with a minimum of free play (hardly any lost travel at the start of the pedal stroke) I get to the biting point around 30mm off the floor from memory. If you were to find another master or slave cylinder to give you more leverage you will loose travel at the clutch and the clutch will bite as the lever comes off the carpet or probably not at all especially if the new cylinder had significantly different diameter.

You could make the clutch pedal lever longer, weld a bit into the pedal side. It would have to be 40-50mm or so to make a real difference. Might confuse you feet though.

How about driving it at busy times of the day and always include traffic blackspots in your routes, Think of it as a training regime for your left leg. Friday at 5pm once round the M25....or M62. Probably cheaper than a health club even with the price of fuel these days!

Check that the pivot point is greased up, use a bike chain spray with a tube to get to it without taking it all out etc. and it is adjusted as it should be.

Can't give any advise but just to let you know you do get used to the clutch. Only problem is when you get back in a wee VW polo after driving the 110 you almost put your foot through the floor!

Thanks for your help.
I will be trying another County on Tuesday night.
I,ll keep you posted.
Thanks.
