2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Epsom Green

adjusting clutch pedal

I recently had a new clutch installed in my 08 defender.
Now I have between 1 and two inch of clutch pedal travel before the pedal starts to operate the pump...
It feels like too much and makes driving (especially with "feeling" offroad too dificult.
Is ther a way to adjust the clutch pedal? And can anyone point me in the right direction...
much appreciated!

sounds like air in clutch system ... if they didn't adjust or touch master then should be same before clutch done
try the bleeding system first

you should NOT have to adjust pedal if nothing has been touched around pedal (example master replacement) ..

you will get air in system on a puma as the bearing/hydrodualic unit is replaced as one unit

2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Havana

From the Puma workshop manual:

Manual Transmission/Transaxle and Clutch - General Information - Clutch
Pedal Freeplay Adjustment
General Procedures
1. Remove 6 screws and detach pedal box top cover and
gasket.
2. Slacken both locknuts on master cylinder push-rod.
3. Check distance from lower edge of clutch pedal to floor.
Correct measurement is 140 mm (5.50 in) without floor
mat.
4. Adjust pedal stop as necessary to obtain correct setting.
5. Adjust master cylinder push rod to obtain approximately 1.5
mm (1/16 in) free play between push-rod and master
cylinder piston.
6. Tighten push rod locknuts.
7. Check operation of clutch pedal and ensure that there is a
minimum of 6 mm (0.25 in) of free play before pressure is
felt. if necessary, readjust master cylinder push-rod.
8. Fit top cover and gasket to pedal bracket.
9. On RH drive vehicles, refit air cleaner.

Hope this helps BM52
