    Disco 2 clutch position

    I have a Disco series 11 2000. The clutch position is terrible and very uncomfortable especially when fully depressed. The adjustment is to close to the floor and therefore requires my leg to be much longer.
    Any ideas on adjusting the clutch or any modifications to make the postioning better.
    I have just sold a 1885 Range Rover manual and that was very comfortable to change gears.

    mmm not too tech on the d2 but most other land rovers. The biting point of the clutch (which is what i take it you mean) . When it gets closer and closer to the floor useally means the slave cylinder is on its way out. As unlike when a clutch is nackered it rises to the top , a nackered slave makes the biting point disapear into the engine bay Untill it comes to a point where you can;t reach the biting point and hence can't change gear.
    SO check for leaks. But i am sure someone on here will be able to tell you more about the D2 . I have not had one yet . Looking for one at the moment

    The master cylinder on my D2 TD5 has recently been replaced (under warranty at 98K) due to it having worked its way down to working just off the floor. Bleeding achieved nothing and now its back to something reasonable, although not as high as it is on my 84 RRC.

    It shouldn't be that low, there does not seem to be an adjustment

    .........if it's low I would guess that you have a master and/or slave cylinder problem or poor fluid, or it may just need bleeding

    ..........the clutch itself would /should be ok as (stated before) it would bite early rather than late if worn.

    Check the bleed first, then the cylinders themselves, might need service kits/repairs,

    there is an adjustment, IT is a horses patoot to get to...

    If its that far down but working are you sure its bled properly...


    M/cyl 3 in big red never felt right untill I took it in for yet another adjustment only to be told that is was full adjusted and there was no more left. 20mins worth of bleeding later and the adjustment redone got it back to the normal position.

    From looking at marshals D2 (workbloke) you shim the pushrod where it enters the pedal pivot,... he didnt like the feel of his clutch pedal although I thought it was good for a rover.
