Re: SIII clutch adjustment

The only adjustment available on the clutch in a Series 3 Land Rover is the
pedal height at which the master cylinder is actuated. The adjustment for
this is on the pushrod into the master cylinder, where the clutch pedal
connects - you simply adjust the two nuts either side of the clutch pedal
connector on this pushrod to move it in or out [assuming you can get your
spanners in through the gap under the inspection cover!].

Make sure there is approx half a cm of float when the clutch pedal is
released, otherwise you risk not allowing the clutch to disengage when you
release the pedal [the release valve in the master cylinder never opens].
