I can't help with a cost, I'm afraid (I'd be nterested to know myself), but the question of a HD replacement came up only recently. The consensus was that it wasn't necessary on a TD5 as some very highly tuned ones were running the standard set up without issue. Darren

Hi Tom
I was quoted just over £800 for new Valeo clutch, DMF and a few other bits that are changed as a matter of course from a well respected Indie down here in Somerset earlier this year.

What he said, £800 sounds about what I paid for clutch, DMF and Ali thrust bearing (rather than standard). Been on now for about 18 months and going well. Engine has JE Engineering remap so puts out a fair bit. First clutch change lasted 6000 miles, last change included a new DMF and I believe that and new clutch plate is the way to go with a remap.
AFAIK you can't get a heavy duty clutch. Spoke to Land Rover and they don't know of any! Spoke to tuning companies and they had not heard of any except for a racing clutch plate upgrade with solid flywheel. They all agreed standard clutch should cope well with even sever remaps. Stick with OEM and replace the lot, should sort you out  2007 TD5 90 Hard Top |

As mentioned above, all the Discovery Td5 boys change the DMF and output seal whilst in there
more cost in the beginning, but much cheaper/ reliable for the future.

Thanks for the answers on this chaps - the standard clutch should be up to the job then...
So far I have had 2 quotes, both over £1000...including dual mass flywheel, sounds like I should be able to get it done a bit cheaper though so I will keep looking. Tom |

I can do an upgraded clutch - and still keep the DPF...
 Click image to enlarge Uprated on the left - standard on the right. No chatter - it is a solid centre as per the original clutch, and must only be used with a DMF (Dual Mass Flywheel). We do offer a single mass flywheel conversion as well, but even with a sprung centre you do get some chatter on some vehicles. Clutch kit comes with plate, cover, release bearing and spigot. Quote from customer - "cant recommend it enough. its not heavy or harsh to engage. very good pedal feel" This is about as far as you can go with a DPF.... Price for the clutch is £440 + vat But I would recommend a new DMF at the same time.... and then fitting etc. In saying that I have run td5's with 235bhp/535Nm on a standard clutch without an issue.. but they are on the limit.

My defender went infor a new clutch today
Had a call this afternoon to say that the clutch and flywheel were contaminated with oil from a leak... After closer inspection it turns out that it was a diesel leak from the fuel pressure regulator. So I have a new clutch and flywheel but the garage have not replaced the regulator, but have tightened it up..?! I need to make sure that this doesn't happen again. Can anyone advise whether it is best to replace the entire regulator or whether it is sufficient to just replace seals / gaskets on regulator? Thanks Tom |

Whole thing
.
Got mine from Guy Salmons ebay shop. This was the best price for a Genuine part (not sure if there are pattern ones). Not hard to change, but fiddly. Easier if you remove the hoses from the regulator body before removing the bolts. Expect to think of many names for the pesky bottom bolt! |

If you remove the the metal hose fittings from the regulator body access to the lower bolt is a doddle. 2005 Td5 90 XS
