Think you want the lof power spec clutch. Ring Luke, or clutchfix. I’ve dealt with both, and only good experiences

Regarding your indie reply, standard reply for general motor factors. I know Luke will warranty his clutches, probably not the labour. And likewise if you supply a clutch kit, the garage can fit it on a labour only basis, exempting them from any liability. Thumbs Up

I've fitted a few flywheels to various peoples Td5's over the years,
Britpart SMF - Was absolute awful made the layshaft bearings rattle - removed
LOF SMF feels very similar to standard no issues and no extra noises.
I have a standard Valeo and LUK flywheel in my 90 which is tuned and I tow quite alot, currently on 140,000miles on this clutch with no issues.

I am just going through this myself and decided on sticking with dual mass, it was clearly thought necessary by LR with the td5 engine at the time.

However this is on a standard vehicle with no heavy work.


I think I'm going for Valeo DMF and LOF Powerspec, thanks for all the replies, it really helps. Thumbs Up Defender 90 TD5 2004

I'm nearly 2 years into my LOF SMF with road spec clutch and couldn't be happier. My Td5 has a fairly light remap and we tow from time to time. My experience is the SMF made the 110 much nicer to drive, I have also fitted the LOF clutch spring and Power Slave, now the clutch is as light as it is on my Mazda which is a joy to drive.

I was in a simular position with a decent remap from Gareth at Empire and immediately the clutch slipped. I went for a LOF extreme spec and their SMF and i havn't had any issues with Noise, vibration, rattle, clutch slip or any of the aforementioned issues.

not saying anyone is incorrect and not saying that they are perfect etc but its always interesting to get a balance of feedback and so far (15k miles) i have had absolutely no issues whatsoever.

I tow (sometimes heavy) and my 130 weights just under 3T although i do treat it nicely, it does get the occasional bit of heavy right foot. Defender 130 HCPU TD5

Hey, you don't have any fuel leaking into the clutch do you?

Twice in 10 years my Defender's fuel pressure regulator has leaked into the clutch and the clutch has then started to slip. After I fixed the leak, after about 2000 km of driving, the clutch has stopped slipping.


Hi,

As some feedback, having reverted back to the original map, the clutch stopped slipping, so i think that rules out fuel leaking into the clutch, but thanks for suggestion.

Hey.

I flipped a coin and decided on Powerspec LOF clutch and Valeo DMF. Found the complete kit with Winchester Gears. However, my order was cancelled / refunded because some or part of it was out of stock and was told to maybe contact LOF direct, which i thought was a bit off / odd!? I couldn't see the Valeo DMF on the LOF site, otherwise I would have ordered all of it directly with them. Ideally, I wanted to source the clutch and flywheel from the same source. Now ordered elsewhere.
