    About to do a swap from my 2.5NA to a 300Tdi. The engine came with just about everything but is missing a hose and I can't figure out which hose it is... Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'm working with a new garage that I've never worked with before, although I've heard good things about them. What's the average cost to have a clutch replaced? I've supplied the new kit, but I've heard it can be a time consuming project. Any ranges or best guesstimates would be appreciated 👍

    I'm having a clutch issue after installing a new master and slave. I've also bled the line a few times and am having problems engaging the gears. Clutch feels spongey when pressure is applied. Should I also replace the clutch? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello all, I have a 1987 Land Rover 90 with a 2.5nad and brand new Ashcroft lt77. The story goes that I brought the truck to a shop and asked if they could replace my old lt77 with the new one, which they did along with new master and slave cylinder and also bled the system. The problem: Ever...

    I have clutch fluid leaking down my pedal draining onto my floor mats. Is this typically a faulty master or slave cylinder? Should I attempt to repair it myself? I can't engage the gears unless I actually start the vehicle in gear. Can I add additional brake fluid (DOT 4) and drive the...

    hey all. 1995 d90 NAS. We are pulling the engine this week to drop in a rebuild that we did. Will look at the clutch while its out, but probably going to replace it while we are in there. Does anyone have experience with an upgraded clutch? is it worth the $$$? I stumbled on the LOF...

    Hi All, I'm new to Land Rovers. I'm trying to resurrect a Defender 110 that's had a hard life and then sat for 10+ years in a field in the UK. Just shipped over to CA. Got the 2.5NA going without issue. Flushed brakes and replaced rear cylinders/shoes. Clutch hydraulics were shot so...

    Got some inquiries on the subject so it seems pertinent to post a parts list with an installation post to follow. My truck is a 300TDI with a long bell-housing R380 (not stumpy) but the parts below should be identical. 200TDI vehicles should share the same clutch fork arm and throwout bearing...

    so it has the hydraulic clutch. i would like to move the engagement point away from near the top of the pedal stroke, down till about 1/2 way to the floor. Looked in the User handbook, didn't see any mention of adjustment (unless I'm missing it somewhere) . so is there any adjustability...

    Ok. I'll admit that I chose a mechanic that has not worked on Defenders before. Other Land Rovers, but not Defenders. First mistake. -His job was to replace the clutch bearing. That's all. After taking the clutch out, replacing the bearing, putting it all back together, the clutch is now not...

    I am looking for some advice here. I noticed the other day that the clutch didn't feel right. It comes to a dead stop half-way down. It was also harder to get into gear when stopped, until by the time I got home, it would grind terribly into reverse, and first. While moving, it goes into...

    Had to dodge a flock of turkeys the other day. When I pulled into the store parking lot I noticed my clutch Petal did not feel right. Tried putting it into gear and it would grind into R but no other gear when the motor was running. I was able to limp it home by shutting it off and putting it...

    Hi folks, I was driving the 110 and noticed something odd. When I depress the clutch pedal, regardless of in gear or neutral, I am getting some amount of vibration in the pedal and noise in the cabin. Best I could describe is light grinding. Noise and vibration is barely perceivable at idle...

    Yes, I've searched and all I can find is how to determine good or not. Is there a step-step-guide out there on how to replace the fan clutch? I've ordered a replacement clutch and the wrench from Zack but would like some guidance before I start into this. 95 NAS Wagon btw Thanks Board!! KCD

    About 18 months ago I replaced my viscous fan clutch (LR genuine part) and it has failed... I was told from where I bought it, that there was a "bad run" of fan clutches ....and it's covered under warranty for one year only and I was out of luck. Seems like a bad deal all around for me...
