Land Rover Clutch Problems

[tiv]

Hi, after going through the forum i've noticed we've got quite a land rover community here.

well in my defender i'm repeatedly having problems with my clutch, as it seems to fail (first spongy, then unable to change gear)

I replaced the washers, first and the same issue came up. So i replaced both the master and slave pumps brand new..

Before even a year passed the same issue is back..

Well how often do you have to replace these washers in defenders? is this a normal thing?

Speak to Devindz he will help you out,

These days i am also learning things the Hardway on my 110 SINGLE CAB.

Best is to take it to INDIKA.

Hi,

I also had to replace master pump and slave cylinder washers within past 1.5 years. Seems like clutch washers need to replace once in every year in Defenders as they operate in a very high pressure comparing to other 4x4s.

I was using BP multi grade engine oil in my 200TDI and recently switched to Laugh's new multi grade oil.

Thanx for the Info GMI, i found out that my defender 110 has better brakes than my Cruiser. I was proud to see the brakes were from AP..... thanx for your info about the brake washers.

I am also Glad to say If you have any issue you can speak to Indika in Rajagiriya on 0777755882.

i have been very happy with his service and workmanship and recommends him to anyone.

Can some one let me know what Type of Diff Oils and Gear Box Oils should be put on defenders.

[tiv]

Thanks a lot friends, I know Indika is guite good on rovers. Well i've been told my has one been filled with Mobil MX and the gearbox and diffs with normal Gear oil, which i'm gonna swap GB oil for ATF soon.

Same here GMI, maybe thats the reason for the clutch. I hate it when it goes leaving you stranded especially where you cant find a replacement. Had quite an experience recently.

I use a 2.5 N/A 12J (later type) with LT77 but does the job, whats your engine Velocity?

Seems that Landy brakes dont wearoff as easily as jap stuff,

I am the most happiest i have to say. Indika has done a super job with the engine and fuel injection pump and the tuning,

Thanks indika. He was extremely quick in his work and very affordable.
