Hi James
I have been having problems with the thrust bearing on my clutch [mainly sqealing] any way its one of thise jobs that needs the gear box stripping out etc [as you would do with a clutch assembly]
And, as it is out you would be stupid not to replace the whole clutch assembly.
I have been to a couple of Land Rover specialists in my area and been quoted £500 and £700. God knows what th ecost would be wit a main dealer????
This price range is dependant on a couple of things :-
A - the usual "sharp intake of breath" .... it could take longer if there are any seized nuts and bolts etc.
B - what parts are going to be used IE original Land Rover or Valeo or some other make.
The advice i have been getting is use original parts as other makes xan rattle and be problematic [how true this is i have no idea]
My LR is 2001 TD5, i dont know if a TDi200 would be cheaper. Possibly the parts may be but i imagone the workshop hours will be the same.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Geoff
