    A quick update on my Rakeway in the Defender...

    Ive done about 1000km now and I think its brilliant. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Rakeway and their clutch/flywheel combo.

    I was told it would knock and bang (by Neale), but honestly I struggle to hear it. Dont get me wrong, you can tell/feel its different, but you have to listen hard so its not a problem at all for me.

    Pete, judging from the avi clip you sent me, yours is noisier - Dont know why that would be, perhaps yours has less carpet inside!?!?!?

    Ji Jon,

    . it doest have any

    I am very happy with mine too. I have done 1700km and am used to it now. As you say its only a fraction noisier in reality than the std one. (my car was noisy before)

    I would always fit a solid flywheel now I think. I can't really see the point of not doing it.

    I won't be using it for a while now however as I just broke the layshaft.

    Rgds
    Pete

    Slipping clutch... something simple?

    Last year my 110 had a full clutch replacement only 12000k after the last replacement. There was a lot of talk amongst the 4wd sellers of low quality plates being made for thge market as a whole. As I had it done I am not sure if the flywheel was machined the first time but it certainly was the second. Incidently the first change was done only because the gearbox was out and I was not sure of the age or condition of the plate. It was not causing trouble but was done whilst all things were removed, as a matter of course. Jim
