I think the tank trap at Cambusbaron has killed my clutch, either that or one of the good climbs there, just slipping like mad when accelerating in high range all through the gears, even if just accelerating in 5th. Starnge thing was (for my thought process anyway  ) it was fine in low range, although I suppose its not trying to break free as much??

Anyway, the small query is, how far do I have to dismantle, does the seat box need to come out, can I drop the gearbox down to get it out? Last time I did it was during the rebuild so had plenty of room.

and what brand do you recomend from where?

Remove geabox tunnel panel, (not the passenger or drivers floor pan bit in the middle) centre seat panel also the panel directly below fusebox. Think it was a Borg and beck clutch fitted. I got rear crank seals too as this was what contaminated clutch

Ap driveline (bought Borg and beck) or Valeo

Unsure what engine you got in but last time I did it (200tdi) engine hoist, remove engine mountings, brackets etc, drop engine down and you can get the top nuts (bit of a fiddle) then move engine forward.

Managed to get a borg and beck, £65 plus vat delivered, from mailorder 4x4, now just need to fit it.

Well that's the clutch changed, not hard to see why it was slipping, but a year and a half and less than 10,000 miles, I don't think that's really acceptable from a supposed quality clutch, now to test their two year no quibble guarantee

That's been hot 

So what would make it hot, it has never towed and not slipped before last weekend

Here's one of the inside when we took it off, he's now learned his lesson and has wading plugs lol



Getting down & dirty.

Getting down & dirty.

Picture of the month perhaps ?

Will it be ready for this weekend?

I thought i was bad with my car as well... 

It was all in one piece Saturday, if dry (which it is looking like) then will be in D4 for Tyro
