Clutch kit for 2000 td5 and flywheel

Hi all

The mechanic at my LR garage says that my flywheel is going and the clutch needs replacing. My OH can do the mechanics of changing it all but I want to spend my money wisely if the change is labour intensive. I don't want is done every month!

So, what is recommended? Please quote prices if you know them. I've heard bad things about certain brands...


Thanks

A standard clutch and flywheel will be fine unless your doing quite a lot of heavy towing coupled with some engine tuning, longer gearing or bigger wheels.

I do some horse towing, will this make a difference?

There a lots of makes/brands available and I need help with that

valeo is what i use

Got a valeo clutch. Got the 5 in 1 kit off ebay, had my local LR dealership do it. Charged me ~£400 for it. Parts came to about the same.

When replacing the clutch, make sure you use a new spigot bearing for the crankshaft too or it'll wreak your head afterwards.

Does anyone know the part number for a Td5 spigot bearing? I haven't been able to find it. Sorry for the hijack.

I also agree.. get the valeo clutch kit.
