Hi,
The clutch seems to be going on my Defender (a 96 300tdi with 81k miles) By which I mean the clutch pedal keeps 'sticking' down and the bite point has dropped dramatically, I keep having to pull the pedal up with my toe. It's driveable but a worry and a pain. This issue happened a while ago, then stopped, then reoccurred badly last night, but I was only about 1/2 a mile from home so I got back ok. I haven't checked for leaking fluid or anything but will do so in the morning, the clutch reservoir was well topped up when I checked it a month or two ago.
My dilemma is I want to take my landy to my preferred garage (in Hebden Bridge) but the car is in Manchester - about 25 miles. Do you think it's safe to try to get over there or should I take it to an unknown garage and risk getting ripped off?
Thanks if you can help![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
