Clutch and slave cylinder
Hey guys! I bought my Connie 2.0 CDT here in Portugal for 2 years now, has almost 275.000 and it’s used as my daily driver. Was just about to getting it painted, however...
"Finally" clutch/slave problem appeared, as I’ve been reading about this problem for so long now :panic: The previous owner told me that the clutch was changed before I bought it, but now I doubt it that he changed anything or, at least, that he changed the slave. Today the clutch pedal went all the way down. From what I’ve read it seems to be the slave.... From what I’ve read here it’s advisable to change both clutch, slave and master at the same time right? Also, I would like to hear some opinions about Luk Repset Pro kit but also about genuine Land Rover clutch (URB500070) and AP clutch, sourcing both cylinders separately, as I read Brian talking about these clutches on one post and they seem considerably cheaper to my budget!! Thank you in advance everyone!! :D Cheers from Portugal! Antonio |
Hi Antonio, I normally fit LUK, borg & beck or AP clutches and slave cylinders.
If you change everything inside the bellhousing, you can just clean out and bleed the master cylinder BEFORE connecting it to your new slave cylinder. I find this works rather than replacing the master cylinder. Good luck with the change, its not a bad job, just remove the front subframe to make the job easier as you will have more room to remove and refit the gearbox. |
Will you do the work of replacing the clutch yourself ???

Mine is in bits today. I changed the clutch 14000 miles ago but the concentric bearing failed . Just bad luck.
While the box is semi out I change cover and plate at the same time. You can do it without removing the subframe but it's tricky . I have a tazoo master cylinder. If It was to fail I can replace the seals from under the dash. If anyone disagrees then so be it . But I have done it so ?? Fitted a Borg and beck this time . Can't remember the make of the last one |

I'd go with borg and beck first, then Luk second.
