Hi everyone. My clutch went a couple of weeks ago (1993 110 200TDi). It started slipping slightly and within about 30 miles I had almost no power. The vehicle had to be recovered to the local Land Rover workshop.
They replaced the clutch with a heavy duty one and checked everything else. All good. Said the new one should last for years, thousands of miles.
Today — 243 miles later — the same thing has happened. It started slipping, got hot, bad smell, no power. Now I’m waiting for a breakdown truck to pick me up.
I’d be grateful for any suggestions for what to check/do next (other than buying another new clutch). Pedal is fine and returns all the way up.
It seems weird that the first clutch lasted since I bought the vehicle in February but the second has gone almost at once. I could accept that maybe the first one was wearing out when I bought the vehicle but there must something else going on. Pretty sure my driving couldn’t wear a clutch out this quickly!
Thanks for reading.
