Don’t go cheap. You need someone who knows, and cares about Defenders. We all know they ain’t normal

For the actual parts use Valeo only it is OEM and a lot cheaper than genuine green oval boxed parts. Don’t use anything else. Alternatively you could us custom clutch manufacturers like you guys have other there. They seem to be popular and decent enough but my experience with Valeo is excellent.

Have you tested the clutch against the handbrake?
Any smells? Cheers James 110 2010 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

I have just had this problem with Miffy.
Best way to describe it is in forth gear when accelerating up a relatively steep slip-road She will accelerate then at peak torque the engine would begin to rev like an automatic gearbox kicking down a gear, meanwhile the vehicle is slowing down, then by babying the accelerator she would get back up to speed. The cause: Faulty clutch release bearing that ate away the pressure plate springs. No I do not ride the clutch pedal... This is a two year old clutch... Not impressed with Valeo or LR's HD release bearing. Thankfully no damage to the flywheel. This time I have up'd the ante and bought an LOF clutch and this weekend I have just reached the bedding-in mile mark...  Honestly it has been a real challenge not to try out the uprated performance clutch and plant the loud pedal. Early signs are good, very very goooooodddddddd  |

Hi
Thank you for your reply’s, sorry to my late update. After further investigation I have found it is the fuel pressure components leaking. Just need to get a repair kit now Thank you for your help |

Hi
As I seem to be getting some (few) drops of fuel when the engine is on I’m gambling changing the fuel pressure regulator and hopefully the problem will be fixed. I’m currently ordering the Bearmach replacement part now. Kind regards |
