Is your Avatar pic after the clutch master cylinder failed?, coz I reckon thats the problem. It is a common issue with deefers, even lateish ones like yours. The cylinder is actually a 3/4" bore trailer brake master cylinder, about $40 to $50 for a good quality one. LR want almost $200 for the same thing

were you able to find the problem ? i have got a brand new clutch and fly wheel and a rilly low friction point, i have the same problem with revers, on all the other cars iv had if you stop and put it into first gear then go reverse its sweet, but no joy, some times if it can be so bad ill just stop the engine put it in revers and restart. ..... not a fun trick. i have noticed that the master cylinder has no adjustment on my disco td5 but has 10mm free play at the shaft.
