Hi all
I have a H Reg, 200 TDi Disco. Its done 125,000 and everything is going fine, except for a Clutch problem, that has gradually gotten worse the last week or two.
Here's the symptoms:
With engine running selecting and engaging first gear is nearly impossible, second is difficult, although the rest are easy.
With the engine NOT running, selecting first, starting the engine all is OK.
I'll be checking the Clutch Hydraulic System tonight, but I suspect the Clutch itself.
So, here's my questions:
What should I check before assuming / deducing its the Clutch ?
The Haynes manual talks about Transmission Removal / Engine Removal to replace the Clutch. Is there an easier way than this ? All I have is standard hand tools / jacks etc, and would be doing the job on my own. ie Transmission and / or Engine removal is out of the question for me on my own, and therefore a garage job.
Cheers
Adrian
