Hi all. A question for anyone in the know re our '02 manual Disco TD5 with 120,000 miles. Missus & son were out a few days ago & it lost speed with the engine over-revving like a clutch slip. Despite my best efforts to get it to repeat this, the clutch feels fine with no symptoms. Its got me wondering about the DMF about which I know nothing. Ideas please...

Actually can you check if it is in centre diff lock mode (is the lever to the left) and if so put back to unlocked, if it revs then - halfshaft.

(before anyone says anything mine was factory fitted diff lock)
 
When the dmf went on my d2 (2 weeks ago :/ ) it was getting slip in third and forth at about 2k rpm. Was very random to start and only happening on hard throttle ect but then got worse v quickly!
 
Thanks guys, I'm leaning towards the DMF. Bugger, was about to sell it too but looks like money needs spending first.
 
No, clutch feels ok. Might take it for a few more miles & get it warm/loaded & see what happens as its no use being unable to rely on it. Having no proper facilities to do this I called a local independent who quoted £1000 for comp OE clutch/dmf replacement. (£680 for clutch inc labour/£300 for dmf.) Sound about right? I figure its still on the first clutch so probably due.

Unfortunately £1000 about right I'd say
 
I'm not convinced it's the DMF at fault. Could be a problem with the clutch activating system, ie master cylinder or slave cylinder sticking, although it'll be a new one on me but hey ho it's a landrover!
 
As said DMFs just become noisy and can cause increased NVH. Clutches can sometime slip only when they get very hot when they are on the way out. I would see if it does it again and make note of the circumstances.

£1000 is about right for the job. Dont be tempted by a solid flywheel.
 
Solid flywheels can lead to engine failure due to the torque not being soaked up by a DMF. Have seen chains fail and cranks even break on engines where a solid flywheel was used.
 
Despite me trying to get it to repeat, no joy, drives perfectly in all conditions. Btw she was driving on level ground & not using the clutch when it happened but hey ho...just wait till summat else happens. Thanks all for taking the time to reply.
