Clutch hose connector
Hi folks,

I am still in the process of fixing up my clutch and yesterday tried to reconnect the slave cylinder, however I am a bit at a loss about how things are supposed to go together.

I had ordered and installed the Slave Cylinder Bleed Valve- LR068981 and Slave Cylinder Adapter - LR068982. So far so good. LOF website mentions the LR068982 acts as a delay valve and replaces the aluminium part. That means I completely need to remove any parts on the clutch hose and attach that directly to LR068982?

How do I get the hose to fit correctly then? Can I just mangle it into place? Because as the layout is right now there is considerable distance between the metal hose when attached to the bell housing and the adaptor on the slave? Because the bracket on the hose does not seem to be relocatable 😬

Just wanna make sure I don’t overlook anything Whistle

This is what the clutch hose end looks right now.

Metal pipe goes into damper valve, damper valve goes into bleed valve - however on mine the new damper was a different length to the old and I had to fabricate a little L bracket to go between the tab on the pipe and a convenient bolt, rather than the standard tab.

Bear in mind also the 2.4 and 2.2 parts are different you can fit the 2.2 parts to the 2.4, but you need all of those parts to be the later 2.2 type.

I seem to remember as well as the later slave, you need the later valve and assembly so if you have all of that for the 2.2, you can retrofit to the 2.4, which is what I have on my 2.4.
All 2.2 Slave plus associated parts, the pipe through onwards you can retain.

Info on diagrams here: https://www.lrworkshop.com/
Might be very useful to you, to visualise what goes where and the P/N’s associated.
As I mentioned though, you can’t use a 2.2 slave on a 2.4 without updating the other items too.

It has to either be 2.4 slave and valve etc, or 2.2 slave and associated parts.
Most including myself have the latter 2.2 set up here, and that is retrofittable to a 2.4.

The 2.4 slaves used or get a few issues, diaphragm leaks and things likes that, often causing premature failure before the clutch itself has even had is life.

Hope that helps. TheThunder Rolls🇬🇧🇺🇸

Don’t worry, LR confuse the best of us with their PN’s especially since some parts are required with others to be bought as a set for compatibility.

You’d have thought they’d list the items as a “lot” rather, than separate items wouldn’t you.

I think, the earlier 2.4 slaves and PN’s are being phased out, or less readily available, as the 2.2 slaves and parts fit both, so that just makes sense to retrofit.

I do know on one 2.4 slave I had, the diaphragm had a pinhole leak on it, so that caused premature clutch failure just because of that. So for a part worth about £80 that caused an entire clutch replacement job. Rolling Eyes The clutch friction plate, pressure plate had loads of life left in them.
So that was one LR fail, another instance was a spring had came out of the clutch again a LR one, failed again with that.
So that’s why I went for 2.2 slave parts from LR and the Transit 4x4 clutch, I just had no luck with LR clutches for life, some fortunately did, but many were written off much earlier than they should have been due to minor niggles that cost owners a lot.
I think LR R&D saw it as a learning exercise rather than a requirement to build items fit for use.

I wonder if LR will have to use some gender neutral parts soon. Whistle
Male and female parts and accessories for sale might cause offence. Whistle Rolling with laughter TheThunder Rolls🇬🇧🇺🇸

Thank you everybody!

Yes, I got the 2.2 Slave + correct adaptors, but I did not read about the hose side. But as Keith said I guess I’ll need to relocate the hose bracket then.

Will keep you posted how it goes!

Sadly can only attend to the Defender again in two weeks 😭

Yes, that’ll probably give you more room as well, be careful with the clips and valve too.
The valve especially just needs closing not tightening, it can be feeble if not careful.

And I know the feeling, time is short this time of year.
