| Information on repeated clutch failures please |
|
I've done a few searches and revealled a range of issues relating to manual D3s... I am on a quest to find out as much as possible about the possible reasons for a D3 requiring multiple clutch replacements.
So far I have found:
Replaced clutch
Replaced clutch & flywheel
Replaced release mechanism (thrust bearing?) & clutch.
Seems to be a handful of members who have had problems ranging from just 11,000 mile up to around 40,000
Does anyone have experieince of replacing several clutches in a short space of time or distance covered and what was eventually found to be the problem?
Any help would be appreciated and I'll see if I can get a mention for the site in a LR enthusiasts publication as this is where the info is going to end up. _____________

New clutch at 30k -replaced with the upgraded version. Repeat failure at 32K -had to be very assertive to get clutch + flywheel replaced under warrenty. I wonder whether it was the flywheel at fault in the first place Richard
