has any one fitted a non genuine clutch mine is now on its way out at 136k miles* and i wondered what others have fitted
*may not have done 136k but i can find no documentry evidence of its change in my file of recipts from previos owner
am i correct in thinking that the LUK clutch is the same as a genuine one in a LUK box rather than a LR box
i have seen borg and beck also offer a clutch
both LUK and B&B are quality manufactures and i am sure they would both be fine but just wondered if any one has fitted 1 after the gen one failed and it has lasted longer feels better etc

Pinhead,
LUK are one of only a couple of Original Equipment Clutch manufacturers the other is Valeo and yes you are correct LUK is what comes in a LR box.
With reference to B&B they are not an OEM clutch they are just manufactured to of a similar standard.
Sometimes quality comes at a price, I know which I would rather fit.

THANKS TO MARCO ( France ) , only to say this:
Model: Discovery 3 / LR3 (LA) Year: 2005-2009
VIN Range: 5A000304-9A513325
Discovery 4/LR4 (LA) Year: 2010-2012
VIN Range: AA513342-CA632839
Markets:
Diesel Markets Only
Section: 308-01
Summary
The customer may report a concern that when the clutch pedal is fully released the engine ‘races’ during acceleration predominantly at low speeds in higher gears. A strong odour maybe noticed from under the vehicle when, or after, a slow speed manoeuvre has taken place (i.e. difficult parking manoeuvre), especially when on gradients. Other noticeable symptoms may include the clutch pedal sticking in the downward position or not releasing fully, difficulty in selecting gears and loss of the gear position display on the instrument cluster and/or the park brake light being illuminated. Investigation using diagnostic equipment reveals that diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0820 may be stored.
Cause: The clutch drive plate lining material is not tolerant to high heat inputs caused by slippage (i.e. driver resting their foot on the clutch pedal when not changing gear). The material then becomes soft and is damaged beyond recovery.Suggested Customer Concern Code - P24.
The clutch pedal load will increase by approximately 15%, please make sure that this is discussed with the customer prior to fitment. Where an increase in pedal load is not acceptable to the customer it is advised that the current standard clutch kit is fitted, part number LR005809.
Habitual clutch pedal riding even with the high load clutch kit fitted will eventually still result in premature wear of the clutch. It is not good driving practice to ride the clutch (resting foot on the clutch pedal, when not changing gear), the driver of the vehicle should be advised to use the left foot rest adjacent to the pedal to avoid further occurrences of this problem in the future and thus prolonging the life of the clutch.
Action: If a customer reports a concern of any of the symptoms above, carry out the Service Instruction outlined below.

thanks all
just dropped it off at my favorite indy (where else can you drop off on a sunday tea time and walk back in less than 5 mins)
he is getting me a price on the high load clutch in the morning as he gets good discount and if its sensible money it will get 1 of those in
if not he says he is happy for me to get my own and drop it off for him so the luk at euro car parts at £201.95 will be the winner if l/r are too pricey

Don't forget that LR parts have a years parts AND LABOUR warranty on their items, so if your new clutch develops a fault due to poor manufacturing or materials then they pay for the part, and the labour to replace it - even if it's not fitted at a dealership but a VAT registered garage.
Worth paying that little bit extra for the genuine items when it comes to high cost/high labour replacements IMO! 2014 D4 XS

If you don't change the flywheel at least change the spigot bush, they cost less than a fiver and can be the cause of a screeching noise when the clutch is pressed. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
