Think I've sussed the clutch issue as its ok but the brakes are ****, then the brakes get ok then the clutch goes ****. :) So all the suggestions about air in the system seem to be right, tried the sleazy-bleed option but the caps dont fit the resevoir so i employed a mate to pump it the old...

Easy way to check is pull the cu and see if when u turn it upside down whether oil pees out or not.

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.

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...

Rubber doughnut looks ok as I did clutch and rear main in July as it ****ed out 4 litres of oil in just under two miles. Wondered if prop joint could be on way out, done front UJ's when box out as they looked dodgy, would lifting it without changing prop cause it to move enuf to slightly...

Had to use Diff lock as well and truly bogged down in the woods sunday morning :( , not got a light when engaged:scratching_chin: . Reversed quite a way back to make sure it unlocks itself, but now got a very loud, deep bang every now and then when I turn the wheels at slow speeds on a lock...
