Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / May 2008Clutch plate for LR 90
Does anyone have an opinion about fitting a 130 clutch plate to a 300Tdi 90? I replaced the whole clutch assembly on my 300Tdi 90 35k miles ago, it was a Valeo from memory, but the damn thing seems to be going west, sounds like a bag of nuts n bolts when I pull away - spring(s) breaking up ? Seems to be some discussion on lr4x4 forum about using plate for a 130 with the standard cover plate (same part no. apparently) Alternatively, Paddocks have a spring special (no pun intended, sorry) on Britpart HD clutch kit for 300Tdi 90 but I have mixed thoughts on Britpart spares quality, any comments on that? Look forward to any guidance Dave > Does anyone have an opinion about fitting a 130 clutch plate to a 300Tdi 90? > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Dave All the britpart bits I have had recently have been sh.t. I'd go for something else. alternatives like borg and beck ones seem fairly easy to get hold of too: http://www.brookwell.co.uk/item/296/borg---beck-clutch-kit-suitable-for-all-dies el-defenders >> Does anyone have an opinion about fitting a 130 clutch plate to a 300Tdi >> 90?

I only fit genuine LR clutches mainly because if they fail (within warranty) a main dealer will change it FOC.

SignatureMarc Draper So what do you reckon to fitting a Borg and Beck 130 clutch plate? My last plate was a valeo plate for a 90, I don't do off -roading but I do pull a double axle trailer from time to time Dave > >As far as I know borg and beck are original equipment > > NO...Valeo have been OE for years.

I have never felt the need to use anything other than standard. That said in almost 18 years of fitting Landrover clutches I have only ever seen 2 or 3 wear out all the others have been changed due to a failure in either the fork, cover or disc.

Since my last post, Ive just replaced the clutch on my 2A. I guess that the cover was the problem (tired springs or fingers i assume) - as nothing was visibly worn out but the pedal now returns properly and feels much nicer and lighter and it doesnt slip when im trying to reverse park it. The old clutch came from paddocks 5 or 6 years ago and IIRC was the britpart one (the cheapest one they had at the time as I had only just started working). I've got a borg and beck one in there now. Thanks for all your inputs, I've decided to drop the gearbox and make sure I've got my facts right about the clutch plate springs failing, then make the decision whether to uprate the plate to a heavy duty Thanks again Dave >>> So what do you reckon to fitting a Borg and Beck 130 clutch plate? >>> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > britpart one (the cheapest one they had at the time as I had only just > started working).
