Hey Chaps,

In the middle of having my Defender serviced and I dispise the man I bought it from, but thats another story.

Basically my clutch is on its way out and I need a new one fitted.

What parts are best to use? Genuine LR parts again or somthing from Ashcroft?

Should I replace the dual mass flywheel as well?

Thanks.

Rookie Question, were DMFs standard on all Td5 Defenders from 1999 on?

Also, I plan on pulling the engine, and replacing the clutch friction material (not the entire assembly),
are all aftermarket friction sections of similar quality?

Thanks.

you need to ensure friction disc is fitted the correct way round its easy to get wrong and will require box removing again
