Bell housing all mated up, in fact it took us ages to get the gearbox back in and the bell houseing togeather as the waterpipe bracket at the top of engine had dropped down and got in the way, took us a while to spot it lol
Not changed the master cylinder as it was ok prior to the problem, We are going to change it as a list ditch hope before taking the gearbox off to see what is wrong.
We used this 5 peice kit

Anyone else used them, Any problems with the quality.
Someone suggested that it could be a mismatched clutch set with the wrong size bits??

Well got microcat to work and it looks like that peice of mangled/melted plastic that i mentioned earlier was a pushrod clip landrover part number 576723 @ cost of £2.30 +vat So just ordered one. Also got a new pushrod while i was at it as the one thats in now is i bit worn on the ball end so may as well do it at the same time.
Its obvious what that little peice of mangled plastic was now ive seen a picture of it
Looks like this clip holds the pushrod in place and stops it sliding out of position and in doing so ensures that the cluch is pushed full in when operated SOOoooooo this could be my problem.....i hope.
Its obvious waht that little peice of mangled plastic was now ive seen a picture of it.
Well let you know what happens once the clip is delivered and fitted.

That's the way I did my 200Tdi clutch - no ramps required, just used a small trolley jack under the transfer box,
