[New Defender Owners]

Just had the 110 in for its first service and the dealer replaced the sump without asking. Possibly LR telling the dealers to just do it. Doubt if the dealer would do it of their own accord as the dealers seem to have to contact LR for anything warranty wise and that takes ages.

[Borg and Beck rubbish clutch]

Just had 3 clutchs changed out in 2 years now.

Decided that when rebuilding the 90 that I would change the cluch friction, pressure plate, bearing and fork. I bought a B & B and this was OK until 18 months later and the clutch started slipping towing the trialer and caravan nearly leaving us stranded 600miles from home.

I then got a genuine parts clutch which was a Valeo and fitted this only 6 months later to find I could not disengage gears.

B&B looked ok just quite shiny on the friction plate

Valeo one had a part broken off it which was jamming the mechanism.

Final one is AP driveline had no problems with that one yet

Nuts and bolts are now well greased so it comes to bits real easy now !!

[A-frame issues in 2007 MY Defenders]

Does anybody know how much it costs to subscribe to the LR GTR technical info site.

I would like to see any Service bullitens myself without having to go cap in hand to the dealers with possible problems when they know about them already
