fitted a new clutch to my 200 tdi disco yesterday as the old one was slipping. now the cluch dosent seem to clear properly although gears select normally the clutch dosen't actually disengage till right at the bottom of the pedal which means that i when i select gear i only need lift off the pedal a couple mm before the clutch has re engaged and i've started to move. as a rough estimate i'd say theres only the last inch of pedal travel controlling whether the clutch is totally engaged or dis engaged. the new clutch is a genuine land rover article and also had a new release arm,bearing and spigot bearing fitted. Can the clutch be adjusted any advice would be appreciated

Some models have slots in the slave cylinder to adjust for slack on the release arm, otherwise make sure the master cylinder is secure on the bulkhead mount and the system has good fluid in and is bled properly.

i hope not, but, it could be the thrust washer on the crank, as this was the cause of mine and i had to have a new engine

Yella, just wondering if you've had a nose at the one you took out, just to see how badly worn bits were?
