Knobber Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Guys, My 300Tdi clutch has just started to slip, is it better to fit a genuine replacement or get one from Britpart?. Also is it a job a novice landy owner could do, is any special tools needed to do it? Many Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is it a job a novice landy owner could do, is any special tools needed to do it? Many Thanks Pete Just to add to what Ralph has said, not many people would recommend using Britpart for anything. Given that clutch replacement is a reasonably big, time consuming job, I think that it would be best not to use one of theirs. Regarding special tools, about the only thing you'll need is a clutch alignment tool, as referred to in Les's post. However, a socket and extension with some insulation tape wrapped around the extension at the relevant point can be used just as succesfully. You could even align the clutch by eye as long as you can your head in line with the flywheel. It's a fairly straightforward job but there are some heavy lumps of metal to manoeuvre so you'll need an extra pair of hands and preferably a lifting crane and trolley jack. HTH. Mark.
