Do you also change the flywheel bolts?
Think they should be about 40Nm + 90 degrees. Hard to pull the last 90 ...

All the clutch parts (as listed)
DMF bolts and torqued to correct LR spec (Gen LR bolts)

My clutch has started slipping at 75k miles, the spiggot bush is squealing in reverse, and there is a rattly sound when idling, perhaps this is what is known at chattering?

Anyway, I need it replaced ASAP as I'm off on holiday in it in a months time.

The local independent has quoted me around £1300 to do the job, including the DMF (oem kit), I just wanted to know if this sounds about the going rate? I'm happy to pay it as I don't have the time to do it myself at the moment, but I was a bit surprised it was this much given the price of the parts. It only took a few hours to it on my old lightweight!

Thanks Alex. Since booking it in, the car has decided to stop slipping its clutch now - no matter how hard I tried at the weekend. I'm now wondering if oil leaked onto the clutch plate from the crankshaft seal?

I've emailed the garage anyway and they'll take a look when they do the DMF. It will be worth it just for the piece of mind - I don't want it failing on me when expeditioning next month! (even if its only in the dizzy heights of the Welsh mountains Embarassed )
