Did u replace the flywheel too? ...cos if it's a new HD clutch kit with a tired flywheel then it's not strange at all
how many flywheels have you fitted

Looks like just the clutch kit is around £60 - £100 and £300 ish including the flywheel.
Do you know what a garage would charge to fit. I have done airbags & suspension parts, but dont have the knowledge or equipment to do a clutch.
thanks,
I'd say you're looking at at least £500 without a flywheel. It might be worth doing yourself. I'd never done a clutch either.
I hope you're a strong lad.
Use a ramp & even pay for it, it'll be worth it.
I had DMF failure & changed the lot, clutch & flywheel.
It 1st started with what I thought was clutch slip.
Symtoms: foot down & revs rise, motor doesn't gain speed, so back off.
Well, I thought the clutch was goosed, booked it into the garage & £800 later, i still had the same problem.
Oh, yes, I'd fitted a new release bearing & spigot bearing & after a week it squealed again when cold.
Soldiered on for a year & finally got a brand new OE L/R DMF flywheel + clutch off the bay.
Fitted it a month ago, on a ramp, in 5 hrs.
It's a lot smoother now.
The DMF, when we got it off, had 5mm play vertically & laterally.
There were un-identifiable bits of rubber in the bell-housing.
But, guess what, after 2 weeks, it's squealing again when cold.
I reckon it's a Landrover thing, don't you just love 'em
the unidentified bits of rubber are the bush in the centre of the DMF disintegrated this happens commonly with vauxhall astra tdi theres only 1 permanent cure for this problem wich is convert the fekker to a standard flywheel and clutch its cheaper for the conversion kit than it is for a dual mass flywheel kit and will save majour reddies in the future
U are right about the DMF failure ...the only problem is that a Disco is not smooth enough with a standard flywheel, cos the DMF is a damper too(among others)
No but I assume what you lose in smoothness and ride comfort you gain in reliability and low cost running. OR does it start to chatter the box to pieces?
