    Clutch

    Your engine has the early pressure plate. I have no experience of them but think it needs different gear box as fingers will not hit later release bearing. Changing the pressure plate should solve the issue i believe. Hopefully some one else will confirm.

    Series 2 Roamerdrive

    Bothers me as well as the oil fitted in the actual roamer drive has no means of being checked and if a seal fails how do you know other than transfer level has gone up.
