ok thought youd had new clutch fitted as well ,i seen them adjusted like that before with clutch slippage occuring after ,that many miles is enough if its been slipping a good bit
ive been driving it for a week since getting back from said mechanics?. but when i noticed it starting to slip...i had to get it home about 30 40 miles, and it was only slipping if i pushed it, and doing 35mph on the motorway i dont think that would of killed it..but if i aply the handbrake and release the clutch she just spins up now. so i think them 500 miles might have just been riding the clutch.
if u see where im coming from.

adjusting made no difference at all then ,try slackening bleed nipple on slave and see if its holding some pressure without touching clutch pedal ,clutch may well have been worn and this finished it off

Well thats what i did to start with when i fitted the clutch but when going up hill it was slipping !!!!! will keep my eye on it, thanks James
hiya.
right then i stripped everything down sunday to replace the clutch, done it the gear box out way.......kin hell was that a lump to move about on your own.
if i had decent tools and a level road i think it would of been a nice straight forward job.
now my old clutch wasnt thin at all and wasnt contaminated with oil or anything,
BUT IT DID LOOK SHINEY and smooth,
would the shine on the clutch of caused the slipping???? (i think this is only the second clutch ive ever seen?)
i will try and get a pic up later to show ppl what i mean.
i gotta say that was a good work out yesterday fighting with the box

How much did you pay for the new clutch and what make is it ?? britpart?
is the new clutch okay or slipping? If its slipping there is a problem with slave or master cylinder. I had a simulate problem with my 200 TDI 90 slipping on hills clutch was fine renewed the slave and master and it is okay don't realy know what was wrong. It is something to do with trapped pressure in the circuit.

Download the workshop manual from landroverweb it give all the details on how to adjust the clutch properly.
All sounds to me like someone adjusted badly to cover up worn out clutch.
then someone fitted a new one which slipped because of bad adjustment which you are now going to put right
