You did remember to put the clutch release bearing back in didn't you?;)

TBH, you have replaced everything else that is likely to cause problems with your clutch. So unless you have been given a faulty part, the only thing it can be, other than the master cylinder, is incorrect fitting.

Since I have been using this, Halfords | Halfords Classic Oil 20W50 5L. I have found my V8 runs quieter and smoother and leaks less.

You can buy seal kits for the master cylinders. Fitting them is fairly straight forward.

Yes, If the internal seals have gone, the fluid can pass between them and the cylinder wall. The piston pushes the fluid past itself, rather than down the pipe to the slave cylinder.

Sounds like the master cylinder piston seals may have gone. If you have changed everything else, and put it back together correctly, then it is the most likely culprit.

You haven't got a transfer box on a Gaylander. You need to replace the VCU and possibly also the IRD. You can find out how to do this in the relevant section on the forum.

On a more serious not, there are many ways in which water can get into a Defender, and I don't think Land Rover ever made one that doesn't leak. The main areas are door seals, bulkhead top rail, behind pedal box, footwell floor, roof seal, door hinges, windscreen seal and basically anywhere 2...

Wear wellingtons when driving in the wet, simple. :D

Already checked that. I can now select gears (just) but no drive, just horrible metallic grinding/crunching.

Don't know if this has been added, but it is one of my favourites. Land Rover Defender Top Gear Review - YouTube

After much pushing, shoving & swearing, I have finally got it to select the gears, and the gears are all where they should be. The problem is that although the gears are being selected, I have no drive and the gearbox sounds like a coffee grinder full of gravel. My immediate thoughts are failed...

The UK is not participating in the UNHCR programme, but is running it's own scheme. Syrian refugees coming into the UK will not be given residential status, and will be classed as temporary refugees unless they meet the same permanent residency requirements as any other non EU asylum seeker.

What is your source? 3'500? That's still a long way short of the 200'000 you were talking about. :rolleyes:

Dec 2012 to Dec 2013. Total UK immigration from all countries was approx 500'000. Total emigration from UK was approx 300'000. Net migration was +200'000 people. These ONS figures.

What bull**** have you been reading? :confused: UK net migration is around 200'000 with 500'000 immigrants total from all countries. We are only accepting 500 refugees from Syria.
