Morning lads
Clutch started slipping on my 2000 110 Td5 last night, do I have duel mass flywheel or standard flywheel and can anyone recommend the cheapest company for a decent clutch kit, any help much appreciated

Always check master cylinder pushrod free play first. I replaced a clutch that was slipping and the new one slipped as well!
Turned out to be the pushrod adjustment. Twas many years ago and on a 109 (my first landy) and I knew nowt about them then.
The nuts on the adjustment were loose...

Apparently the R380 gearbox doesn't have an adjustable pushrod, just my luck really

Not the pushrod at the gearbox(they are not adjustable) the one under the little metal cover at the master cylinder fixed to the bulkhead.

OK, not sure but will have a look

You have dual mass flywheel in a td5, but if your wading plug is fitted in the bell housing it’s worth removing it to check no oil has found its way in there as that will cause a slipping clutch

I actually noticed the wading plug was in tonight, will take it out tomorrow and see what happens, thanks for that
