Clutch setup
Rangie3.0LtrDan:
It would seem they dont lol, i have bought a replacement and will test the old one tomorrow. Is there a way of testing to see if the master cylinder is working ok?
Rangie3.0LtrDan:
Forgot to add as well, when doing over 60mph you cant change gear, the pedal loses all pressure, but it doesnt engage the clutch as you carry on going. Try to change to fifth gear at 62mph and it just crunches until you get the speed back down to about 55mph.
Rangie3.0LtrDan:
Ok, have fitted the new clutch master cylinder. Have tried bleeding it but am getting nothing. The pedal is getting no pressure whatsoever. It had a new pipe from the master cylinder to the plate on the chassis where it meets a flexi hose to go to the clutch camper to go to the slave cylinder. It is now officially worse and i am pannicking somewhat as i cant use it! There is no oil leaking from the pipe and the master cylinder is remaining full (it used very very small ammounts of fluid in the 40 mins we were pumping the clutch!
Anyhelp would be appreciated. Also on this vehicle (j-reg 200tdi KA series vin) there is a hole in the bell housing at the bottom near the clutch front of the vehicle. Is this sposed to be a drain hole?
beast5680:
when you fitted the master cylinder was the rod the right length? i only ask as i have had another vehicle that the rod on a new master cylinder was the wrong length and it wouldnt work properly as it was not pushing the piston in far enough?
the hole in the bell housing sounds like the hole where you put the wading plug when offroading
HTH

Heyup, well spoke to local land rover garage just now and they said i need to gravity bleed the system! lol, apparently it needs to get to the state where its flowing naturally lmao
