Was the clutch fork changed at the time - there is a design fault and the pivot punches through the arm...

Did he reset the pedal height after changing the master cylinder ? If it's got hot then perhaps it's been slipping ?

well murph, that could be it, He did set the pedal the same height as it was before. The pedal is now rock solid and he can smell the clutch, so looks like he may have killed the clutch
is there a set procedure to do with the pedal height? he may have not adjusted it properly. He just dives into jobs with out so much as researching before hand. He didn't really think properly on how he was going to drop the box until I asked on here, sometimes all you get is " I nore that already" hates been shown anything until stuff goes tits up! So looks like World war 3 is about to kick off in the procta house hold when they finally get back. 
So pray for us
But please keep the help coming, before he starts to pull it a part again! last thing we need is it to be in bits if it doesn't need to be in bits! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

its about 1" of free play at the pedal IIRC
Might be worth adjusting it and seeing if you can get drive..... |

Set the pedal height from the bottom of the clutch pedal to the bare floor to 140mm.
There should be 1/4'' of free play in the pedal movement before resistance is felt. HTH Mo The Land Rover 90 - Many are called, few are chosen. 50 Shades of Pennine Grey |

thanks murph, They are back home now, sadly the clutch is fried, you can really smell it! I think my dads cocked up when he put the gearbox back in, and damaged the pressure plate.
He had the car on axle stands which made more work for him and he wound the gearbox in, when it was at an angle and we heard a massive bang! I will see what the story is tomorrow before I go back to bed, for nightshift, Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

The spring doesn't affect pedal height, it just pulls the pedal back up.
Your dad used the wrong nuts on what ? Mo The Land Rover 90 - Many are called, few are chosen. 50 Shades of Pennine Grey |

Thanks murph, he thinks he used the wrong nuts for the pedal adjuster, Ie a nilock one instead of the two original ones. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

we found out what the crack was with it today, after removing the gearbox.
My dad hasn't adjusted the pedal properly at all, so we found that the bearing was cooked, the clutch pressure plate is warped and the clutch plate is cracked with the heat. Also looks like the oil seal may have been damaged due to the heat sadly. This time its getting done properly not the arsehole of backwards way, that my dad did! Having the cars front end on ramps, then fighting like hell trying to get the height etc. Also I have managed to get my mate to help, much to my dads discussed but he needs the extra help and ideas, As with him going on daft about the clutch in the 1st place that didn't need doing, and with the "I nah that" attitude. The car has ended up worse now and parts buying twice! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

I don't know how old your Dad is but I feel for you, My Dad's a (bright) 75 year old and can do EVERYTHING by himself, till it goes wrong.

He is 62 just gone Michael, He is just stubborn, wanted to have the car on axle stands at the front, and again I had to practically lose my loaf with him about it, not needed to be on, as the car is high enough as it is!
Laugh was as soon as he did what I told him, things went smooth as silk with the gearbox transmission jack that he says its not ideal for 4x4s, but we are dropping the full works out ( gearbox and transfer box as one lot) So its about to be a top heavy for the jack. Just a simple assistance with another jack and we were all good! He lacks planning and assessment skills, and just dives right in and things just goes tits up or things are twice as hard as they needed to be. Like the 1st time around with the clutch thing! My mum helped him the 1st time around and she has washed her hands for it this time around. I think she is on the verge of getting rid of it, So I have had to ask a mate to help out.
