2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

Warranty issue - Clutch problem not covered by warranty?

Hi,
I have a -07 Defender that has been in at the dealers garage before the 3-year warranty period is ended.
They will replace, front windshield, door sealings, cd-player, windshieldwipermotor, fix the fueltank etc.

I also have a problem with the clutch, it's difficult to change gears and the clutch engage almost directly (near the floor) when you let it out. I think it maybe is the clutch bearing that is worn out but i'm not shure. However the mechanic says that it maybe not will be covered by the warranty

So my question is do you guys have any problem to have the clutch repaired by warranty in UK (or other countries)? Any advice where to get information about documentation over clutch problem for Puma?

Best regards

Think clutch is a well know problem and they changed the design?

Search the forum, lots threads on clutches... Disco 3 gone but the memory of the bills remain...
XS 110 Utility maybe one day..... (did they fix the quality yet?)

I live in Dubai, which is in the middle east and Land Rover Middle East clearly states they do not cover the clutch but the clutch bearing should be covered I had mine replaced because one of the springs in the bearings came loose. '08 LR Defender 110

If your bearing is on its way out you can tell by pressing the clutch peddle.... when the clutch is pressed does your transfer lever stop rattling ? if so then the bearing is on its way out......and also if your under warranty and the clutch is playing up get them to replace it ...I've had 3 replaced under warranty

Thank you all for the information.

I took the TSB-paper to the garage and this time they said that there was a well know problem and they have changed the design on the clutch and it will be on warranty

They will change it the first week in june when they do the rest of the warranty work. Land Rover Defender 110 SX Station Wagon 2007

New CD-player
New door sealings all around the vehicle

Quick question - why did you have the wiper motor replaced, the reason i ask is mine seems more noisy that the older ones but they say its fine

Just a note on the steering box, unless the rule has changed in the last 6 months (been like it for 10 years) Your steering box shouldnt be adjusted in the warranty period by a dealer it should be exchanged

How many clutch revisions are they on now, im aware of 3 (1 = original, 2 = modified, 3rd current further modification?) Mike

I had 2 problems with the wipers, one was that the wipers didn't went back to its starting point when i turned off the switch, the other was that the wiper motor sounded like it was running very hard. Now it works perfect and the motor is quiet.

I don't know exactly what they did with the steering box but they told me that they have done some overhaul and adjustments. I think the major problem was the ball joint, because now it has a really good respons when i turn the steering wheel. Land Rover Defender 110 SX Station Wagon 2007
