Hello guys,
Hope you don't mind me jumping in.
How hard is it to renew a clutch on a disco1 ?

Technically its not that difficult, its just undoing nuts and bolts. I didnt fancy benching the transmission so have opted for taking the engine out. More time consuming but less hassle IMO. I know you can do it with an engine crane through the drivers door and using it to hoist the trans up and down but i needed to do a couple of other bits on the engine anyway.

Nothing major. Fitting my gauge senders so have modified an oil filter housing so the senders go where the oil cooler pipes are. I will be binning the cooler (might change the rad to an alloy one at some stage) Also fitting the water temp sender to the thermo housing so would need to drain the coolant anyway.

fair enough not sure it would make me take the engine out lo its not fun i alawys do anything i can to avoid taking one out lol
that oil cooler just seems a bit pointless to me and a right pain in the but when u need the rad out of the way i dont blame u leaving it off.

So i ordered this
UQB000130 - Clutch Plate Heavy Duty 200/300TDI 130
shows a Valeo disc, it turns up and its exactly the same as the britpart one i have inc in the same box lol. So i now either have 2 Valeo discs or 2 crap ones.

I ordered all the bits to do the timing belt on my fiancées diesel freelander, stated I wanted OEM... When I went to collect there was a pile of the dreaded blue boxes and was told it's ok they are OEM.... I opened them up and the quality of the tensioner was shocking, I hastily chucked it all back at them !
