Thread: Slipping Clutch

Hi all,

I drive a 300tdi Disco, it's got about 210k on the clock and up until recently has been relativly trouble free; however one morning I drove to the shop and there was a definate shudder from the clutch.......it felt like I was in third or fifth gear, it did this a couple of times on that day. Anyway i got home and called my mechanic mate, who said bring it around, but it wouldn't repeat it when he was trying to get the clutch to slip (handbrake on at takeoff, taking off in third)
My son asked me how I got on with the clutch when I got home, I told him that it didn.t slip again and it's a bit of a mystery.
Being the observant lad that he is, he wondered wether or not it had anything to do with our second driveway being quite steep, and the car only being parked there a couple of times and on the times that it was parked there the clutch slipped.
That was a couple of months ago......the Disco hasn't been on the steep driveway and the clutch has not slipped once since that one time.
Not to sure what to do from here, but any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards to all Jim.

Workshop, too big a job for me without a hoist and thought I let the expert do it.
