my record drive in drive out is 6 hours. But I didnt have to worry about aircon stuff, the oil cooler for the manual, the EGR stuff and a few other bits and pieces that the owner had either diabled, removed or otherwise made easier to work around.

I was in a fully decked workshop, had the vehicle on a 2 post hoist and had a dolly crane for the lift.

drive in at 9,, drive out at 3.45 not a bad efert i say so my self,,, very pleased,,, clutch is heaps nicer to drive, no more clunks as i found the hand brake drum just sitting there, spent alot of time cleaning the belhousing and the release forks, and all moving parts, nice new spigot bush,

very happy,, i did find that when the box was out and i was changing the clutch,, i could move the DM fly wheel slitly in eather direction,?? is this right

Good job Stig

Yes normal movement is 5mm to 10mm either direction, but shouldn't 'rock' in and out.

good drills.

45 minutes overtime though...

hope you werent paying for it


howd you go with the aircon side of business?

[landyfever]

Hey Nic, what took you so long ?

Did you use air tools

[Hendrik]

I was gonna say, thats ages lol. You shoulda done it in 3 hours
Dave what do you mean the air con stuff, I don't know if it is different on a defender (probably is), but I've done a D2 clutch before and didn't have to do anything with the air con. Would love to know what's involved with the a/c.
And as far is I know, the r380 in the fender doesn't have an oil cooler....could be wrong though.
