    I went really stingy and put a kit through my clutch master cylinder (similar to Defenders), cost $15.00 and brakes feel really good. It's easy too.

    One would hope a clutch master kit wouldn't affect the brakes

    More details? The symptoms you have described do not sound like the clutch/pressure plate are buggered.

    Even if they are buggered, you can nurse a slipping clutch for quite a while if necessary.
