Disco TD5 clutch ??

Since Feb my Disco has had 4 clutches, three slave master cylinders and two dual mass flywheels.

This is due to the car slipping within two weeks (500 miles) of me getting it back everytime.

The 1st time was routing 124k, clutch started feeling ropey so coughed up to change it and the fuel pressure valve that had leaked into the clutch housing.

Then the pedal dropped and failed to rise (never happened before love honest.. lol)

Then the whole lot started to slip, they had it back for two weeks and changed it all at least twice untiil they settled on a faulty master cylinder, now its doing it all again.

On a Defender site i saw something about adjusting free play in the clutch pedal, anyone know if my soon to be pile of smoking ash would be affected by this ?? Or do i just ask my brother to park his 110 on it from the roof of St Georges shopping centre ???

:blabla:

Hi, did they actually put a new clutch in 4 times as it sounds like they have tried to clean the contaminated 1, and the slave and master cylinders need changing together as 1 tends to fail after fitting the other 1 i think due to 1 having new seals creating more fluid pressure than the other componants seal can handle

They tell me they, last time thay had no choice as they inform me that after replacing the clutch it failed on them in the yard.

I know that the master and slave were done at the same time last visit too.

It goes fine then the pedal starts to feel like an old 2.5 NA Defender then starts to slip intermittantly then all the time, like I've got some debilitating illness that makes my left leg become attrcated to the carpet mat.

it could be a leak in 1 of the hydrolic pipes from the master cylinder to slave cylinder, what make of parts are they using, and are they the correct one's for your landy.The td5 does'nt have adjustment as such because it self adjusts

Parts are supplied by a landrover agent so I hope they are correct, been doing some browsing on WWW.blahblahblah would the well documented "oil in the loom/ecu" missfire produce the same symptons of slipping clutch ?? ie engine racing etc ? I do seem to have some oil there.

oil in ecu has no bearing on the clutch, generally causes misfire, engine racing could be your injector seals and washers allowing fuel to pass them them, which mixes with the oil in the sump and burns causing the engine to race, check your oil level on the dipstick if it is above normal then chances are it is the washers+seals, but that does'nt explain your clutch problem
