clutch

Hi all, can any one tell me how hard it is doing a clutch in a TD4? Is there anything to be aware of ? :-k

Hi there,
I do all my own repairs/ overhauls however, when the clutch Slave cylinder let go on my TD4 Freelander I put it into my local independant (JSF Norwich) 2 piece clutch kit, Slave Cylinder, Master Cylinder and Labour £660 inc VAT.
My good mate who works there (and hates Freelanders) did the job (cos I asked for him!!!) said they are a complete arse and thats even when using a 2 post lift to enable the front sub fame to be dropped out of the way.

I don't regret paying someone to do it in the least and I really hate paying for Labour.

Hope this helps your decision

Tony

MMM, I've done a few at work (whch is'nt a million miles away from you....) & did'nt find them that bad. Mind you, that's on a ramp so probably a pig on the deck. I would definately put a new slave cyl in at the same time despite the cost, it's the same set up as a Rover 75 & when I worked at a Rover dealers you could guarentee that the slave would blow a few weeks after a clutch was fitted which need it all taking out again! :lol:

carbore:
Id suspect ther are different issues depending on if its a Rover TD4 or BWM TD4 (Or am I going mad??????, later facelifited TD4 were BMW engines I beleive, earlier were rover????)

mud knight:
Thanks guys, if i do go down the path of doing it myself i will have access to a pit and alot of hands to help. So i take it the slave is inside the bell houseing? I would replace everything anyway. Is there anything that needs reinforcing ie clutch fork as in the discos?
