Ok now I'm tempted..... Mike -

His is a 300. The only reason I'm not jumping on it is it's no less work than fitting a td5. Mind until I sort a replacement it's sat there doing nothing. Mike -

That's tempting, I'm not sure it's a good idea but definitely tempting. Mike -
I did have one but I can't find it at the moment. Mike

@TSD Because work was further away than where it broke and I figured getting further away is not a good thing. Mike -

I *think* that is a 130 clutch plate. I definitely fitted a 130 plate when I built the truck however the engine and gearbox have been changed since then and can't remember which clutch went back in as I have a lightly used clutch in the workshop as a spare. Mike -
I tend to use a kneeling mat myself as I've never got on with knee pads. I know that's not what you asked but just another option. Mike

Thank you Peaklander I'm trying to find one closer but we'll see how that goes. In other news it's out. I now know exactly what happened to the clutch. At the top behind the fingers is a bit of metal and some springs not quite in their correct position so the friction plate has exploded. Mike -
First ones I saw on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261756715966?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ikqnywyQToi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=rj9sNdGlTqa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Mike

No idea didn't get it home till dark and by then it was raining. If the weather plays I'll try to pull the engine over the weekend then I can start making decisions. I'll also try and get the swivels and cv's done as at least that will be one thing off the list. Mike -

Yes I had that engine years ago and that one snapped a cam pulling of the drive in our 110. Sold it on as parts about 5 years ago. Given current developments and a lack of disco 200's I am starting to lean towards buying a td5 disco to strip. But it's academic until I've finished the job that'll pay for some of it. Mike -

Damper has been removed and the slave is td5 from memory, there's no fluid loss in the master. It's also worth noting it's a V8 box on a diesel so it's possible the splines have let go, but It feels to me more like the arm has punched through. When I get it home I'll pull the slave but I suspect the engine is coming out and possibly the gearbox. Looks like I'll be borrowing the mother-in-law's bike For now. Mike
