Hi there I was wondering if anyone could help me find a way of making my clutch lighter , I have looked at power springs and apparently they're only for defenders ?
Making a discovery 1 cluth lighter ?

Welcome to landyzone
OP:- Welcome Aboard
@Henry_b is correct - I even wrote it up on 'ere anorl:-
https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/servo-assisting-the-clutch-300tdi-r380.301335/
Strictly speaking, it wasn't for me * - it was for SWMBO ......as she has a D1 too It's still working as intended.
* well, it stopped her moaning about how heavy her clutch was .... so I guess it might have been for me after all ....
Though, TBH, the days of the R380 in hers are seriously numbered ... a ZF4HP24 is getting closer and closerer

I always liked autos in 4x4's not much else though like others manual
My Recently acquired 3.9 Manual RRC is a hoot to drive goes like **** off a shovel but the clutch pedal is heavy as satans left tit and the box jumps out of 2nd when you hammer it to redline
Great fun.
3mpg isn't though

Thanks I'll look into it as I currently have to use all my weight to press the clutch (get some weird looks sometimes )
If your clutch is that stiff - and by that I mean stiff as opposed to heavy - then it may be that the clutch fork is about to go - you can guess how I know this
...Do you know anyone else with a D1 you can do a comparison with ?
Make sure you're recovery cover is up to date !!
- you can guess how I know that too
