    To be sure my Defender clutch is harder to move than my Disco 1 clutch was .....but not by much.

    What advantage do you see coming from this addition?

    Fair enough.

    Getting used to a manual change is a challenge but a challenge worth taking. Driving a manual gearbox is a musical thing: both physical and cerebral.

    I'd have to say that the Defender is harder to drive as well than my Disco was.

    I would give it time before you jump in this direction.

    My concern with this product is that it would be adding another mechanical link to a system that could fail.

    I have spoken to Dirk Greoning at landrovertuning.com.au He swears by it , seems like A very simple application that will make the driving experience even more pleasurable, Singapore and Hong Kong landrover garages are fitting them, they come out of Sri Lanka which has a huge population of Land rovers left by the British

    You can also remove the spring on the pedal.. reduces the forces required quite a lot I hear.

    I put a new 130 Valeo clutch in, new fork, new thrust bearing, lubed the pedal mechanism, replaced the master and slave cylinders and it's gone from being a heavy squeaky ****** to a nice light (yep surprised me) noise free clutch pedal.

    Might be easier just going with the booster

    I had a friend that installed a vh44 booster on his clutch in a TD5 Defender, before this booster was fitted the pedal was too firm to operate quickly and would make his leg ache.

    The modification in that vehicle wasn't a great success in my opinion, as the clutch response was slow and not as light in the pedal action as we anticipated.
    But it was nowhere as hard to operate as it was before.
