TD5 clutch slave cylinder?

(1/3) > >>

tjsj:
Hi, my dad's disco had a service the other day and we were told by the garage that the clutch slave cylinder is going on it, saying this I did think the clutch felt miles too light for the first 1/3 of the way down, its on a W plate with only 64000 miles, is it usual for them to have problems this early?
Cheers T

tjsj:
anyone????????

thermidorthelobster:
It's not a particular weak point, but clutches are subject to wear and tear, so it doesn't really surprise me.  It should be fairly straightforward to change yourself if you feel like saving some money;  I think they're only a few quid.

tjsj:
Yeah, I'm willing to do it myself as it saves paying the labour and also it will stop me knackering up the gearbox as its going to start crunching soon i guess???

skip:
Hi. at work we run landrovers and two of them have had the slave cylinders replaced. one on a W plate with 60k and Mine on an 03 plate with 30k. apparently there are some with dodgy seals. On both occasions the fliud went almost black and the clutch slowly starts to engage with the pedal down, so a quick jump to neutral was neccasary at the lights.

I'm talking about Defenders so it might not apply to the disco, just don't be surprised if it is.
