Clutch modification

Just done the clutch modification & I can say what a great little mod it is.
Only takes around 15 mins & I'm no mechanic.
Clutch pedal is now a lot lighter.

It does make a noticeable difference and makes the Defender easier to drive.

Fitted as standard to TDi and Puma but bizarrely not the TD5.

Tank,
Here is the one I ordered. When it came it was actually a Britpart one.
Easy to fit just need a pair of long nose pliers.

Hope this helps

2000 Defender 110 Td5 XS CSW Epsom Green

One of the best mods to do! Love it on mine...

2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)
2003 Range Rover Mk III (Desmond FitzWilliam)
2000 Defender 110 CSW TD5 (CTX)
1992 Range Rover Classic (Lizzy)
1972 Series III 300 Tdi (Stanwood)
1967 MGB GT

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

Exactly the same as the one I fitted but a cheaper price

Only just by the time you add the �5 postage on it as order is less than �60.

True, but I usually "save" the small parts order until it achieves the magical �60 threshold! Mike

So the top bush snapped when putting it in. Fk

Can you buy the plastic buses separately ?
