Apart from the very good omments above. If the thrust washers on the crank are warn, under load the crank moves slightly and can cause clutch slip even on low milage cars.
A quick fix/test without measuring crank end float is to put a 2-3mm spacer between the slave cylinder and bell housing spacing it away which gives the clutch fork rod a little more room to move. Pete |

Yes you could make one or get a spacer from landrover FRC2402 for a V8 or 300TDI

I just used aerosol brake cleaner with hose on from crank sensor and bell housing drain. Have you checked bell housing drain? When you do/did makes sure hole is clear as it can get sealed/blocked from inside.

Brill, I'll do the seals on the FPR anyway, clean with brake cleaner and see what happens, then try the spacer.
Thanks very much for your inputs, It's much appreciated. Cheers |

just another note i tried the seals first on my FPR and it didn't fix the issue i had to buy a new FPR of the same guy
got to be a dab hand at removing and refitting the FPR could do it all in under 5 mins i then attached a 30cm long piece of clear pipe to the FPR vacuum connection and tucked it behind the starter motor, so i can see if it ever starts to leak again and if is does it won't go all over the bell housing heres the FPR i used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DISCO...27c85ee4e0 |

are the thrust washers easily replaceable when the sump is removed? would you advise changing them even if there is no little or no play? as i'm removing mine to check the oil pump bolt while the engine is out, and replacing bolt with new LR part |

Yes easy to fit with the sumo off. Worth doing as prevention if you have the engine out for sure.

Well, after changing the seals on the fpr and flushing brake cleaner through the crank sensor hole it was still slipping, so I flushed water through the crank sensor hole a few times and it now appears to be sorted, the clutch plates must have had diesel on them.
Thanks for all the advice, now seems back to normal. Cheers |
