Err, are you sure???

I prefer to use a Borg & Beck clutch if I do one... for no reason other than that I've *never* had a problem with them.
There are stronger clutch forks available, but sourcing them can be difficult.

I don't know about the 300tdi but how does anyone get at the top 2 bolts on a 200tdi engine without dropping the gearbox down and tilting both of them?
Or is it just me that has fingers that are too fat :lol:

fingers are to fat,use 4 extensions so it comes out over the top o the Tbox
inregards to the clutch fork i weld a section o 1/4 flatbar across where it pivots thus it will NEVER wear through

After going through this very recently myself (major major clutch woes) the gearbox out is the easiest option. This is a definate, anyone who says engine out (after my experience of everyone telling me how easy it was) is the easiest way to do it is either someone who has a very kitted out workshop or is talking crap!
We had to do the fork, the clutch and everything else on mine, we went to try engine removal first and it was a pig, well over 5 hours to remove an engine, gearbox removal is about 2 hours if you know what your doing. You dont even need to remove the gearbox, you can just move it back a little (which is what the local garage did when i gave it to them in the end).
I'm sorry if anyone is offended by my saying they are talking crap but after my experience with people telling me to take the engine out i can safely say its not the easiest option!

i always move the engine forward but then agen it is a disco so isnt as easy as a defender :lol: so you have to remove the engine to get a better view of the clutch, unless you go through the agro of taking the rad out, my grandad has a disco 200tdi i have had the engine out 5 times now....once in the middle of a muddy field because he blew one up so he replaced it and it only takes a hour for me to remove....providing that the b****** top nut isnt on the bellhousing :shock: now im sure that it is easier to move the engine than gearbox as you have to remove the panel from the central console ect....but that is my own opinion :D
