Thanks guys Original mechanic had her back under warranty. Slave knackered due to clutch mechanism " over extending" , causing leak. Comment from grease monkeys in the pub ", load of testicles! " Got my brother to talk to him, now getting fixed . Not under warranty unfortunately, as he says...

Thanks. All pointing to slave cylinder. 2nd opinion guy said that there was fluid around the bell housing? Can you still get Haynes manuals? Think I need one if I'm going to keep the landy!

Just spoken with mechanic, he says that it isn't the bleed nipple , it was something else, unspecified but when he looked t'other day that was still intact

Mines a 2005/6 55 plate. Freda

Ps Guys that changed the gearbox were doing me a personal favour but don't know much about landys, the slave cylinder was replaced about this time last year by an actual mechanic. Going to call him now

Thanks Andy. This is what all of my mechanically minded friends have said too. The invoice mentioned a plug on some part that has a worn thread, fixed with "sealant", could this be the source of the leak? Mates all agree that if flywheel was at fault there would be juddering, there isn't.

My lovely TD4 keeps having clutch problems. Started about a week after I bought it, everything was fine on test drive and way back,( 40 miles ISH) diagnosed possibly wrongly as knackered gearbox. This was exchanged and I had a few months of happy driving. Then it "went" again. 700 quid and new...

Hi, I've looked at your forums and decided to join the ranks of the self confessed landy lovers . I have a mark 1 td4 , which seems to be determined to bankrupt me via various clutch problems Will be going to some landy events once she's back on the road
