Any way to make the clutch lighter?
I have a 2013 which already has the spring assist. The wife has just had back surgery and the clutch is giving her gyp. Is it possible to lighten the clutch some how? Perhaps a spring with more assist.

Cheers
Col

Definitely this as the solution. I love mine. Takes a little bit of getting used to and driving a standard clutch Defender after is a real effort but well worth it.

^ what he said. The clutch on my 90 is lighter than my wife’s Nissan now. 👍

I chatted to the guy at the Scottish show earlier this year - and had a shot in the demo - it was impressive. something in me wants to say £400- odd for the kit, but that's going to be a rough figure. Donald

I’ve spoken to Rod Barry who supplied and fitted my red booster, and can pass his details on here. I’m not associated with him in any way, just a thoroughly satisfied customer. He can supply only if this is your thing, or give him a call if you want it fitted. He is the UK importer of these units and handily located near Edinburgh - if like me you are in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

16 Dryden Road, Bilston Glen industrial estate, Loanhead, Midlothian EH20 9LZ. Numbers for him are 0131 448 0808 and 077655 32347.

He also built his own HUE tribute and has galvanised every piece of steel on the motor - even the HD ‘wolf’ wheels are galvanised before being painted! The guy is a perfectionist and you won’t be disappointed with his work.
