Hey Heggs
If you refer to a shudder or very rough idle when coming to a stop or shortly after , it may not be the clutch at all.
My 2002 has the rough idle thing happening occasionally.
I've been told it could be a fuel pressure issue.
Check the fule filter under the rear RHS guard and tell me if it has a leak of any kind.

Nah it's definately a shudder, I will hopefully get it sorted out on Wednesday when she is back at the mechanics.Quote:

Well I got the call I was dreading it is the clutch gone. Bugger I was quoted around the $2,100 to replace it.
I feel for you, do the flywheel while you are at it. Weather it needs it or not.Quote:

Anyhow after pick up all seemed great until I went under load in 5th gear up Greenmount hill then this low noise started…. Bugger I thought why did they not check that while the box was out.
I finally got around to sorting out another repairer as I am getting rather ****ed with the dealer and didn’t want to be off the road for a long time again, so this time I checked out the new Landrover 4X4 suppliers in Morley. Andrew took it out for a test drive checked it all out checked the oil (all the stuff you would expect the dealer to have done) and found metal in the oil….Bugger.
As being a complete novice when it comes to anything like gearboxes he showed me a box that was pulled apart and what as most probably the cause of the issues (some sleeve on the shaft that holds the 5th gear in place).
So anyhow she’s booked in on the 18th to have the box pulled out again and the gearbox re-built. Ho hum just got over the last bill, I can’t complain really it has 235k on it and this is the first trouble I have had.
The guys down there were great and looks like they are getting a range of Landrover accessories for display. Hopefully they are awesome mechanics too, and I don’t have to keep going back to spend money on repairs when I could be spending money on accessories.
Yeah I was going to say usually the gearbox breaks before the clutch wears out and then you just get the clutch done as a matter of course while the box is out. ;)
Mine just failed! d'oh!
Rakeway here I come.
Are they the way to go?Quote:

I have done a fair bit of heavy towing and the engine is a lot more powerful than standard
