You may not believe this, but 58k for a DMF is good going.

It's the DMF.

Congrats on getting that far - twice what we got. And how lucky to notice it on the high street and not on a 4WD track in a forest up a mountain. Still will cost £1k+ to fix. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own! |

no luck with warranties because i bought it privatly...is it maybe a case of the DMF has been done previously and it now needs a clutch?? does anyone know where i can source a DMF from other than landrover or which brand is good also am i likely to have to do this within the next 40k after it is done??? |

You could try a Ford dealership as the DMF and clutch are Ford parts

Normally both DMF and the friction plate are replaced together, it's unlikey that the clutch alone is worn as you car is showing typical weak DMF symptoms.

what does it feel like when it slips mine still seems to sometimes do something funny about 2500rpm but its not all the time :S When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car |

It will happen at peak torque, around 2000/2400 rpm in high gear and is more noticable on a slight incline. If you either ease off the throttle or change down and get the revs up, you will then reduce the torque and the clutch starts to feel normal.

You are still in warranty so they must honour it.

have done a bit of digging on this dmf issue,spoke to the prev owner who says he has never replaced clutch or dmf and i do believe him as he seemed genuine ,most problems reported with dmf issues have been between 9k and 25k and most mechanics ive spoken to say if it was the dmf failing it is more than likely that shuddering,noise,or a drop in the pedal would coincide with the slipping issue and it would do it all the time not just every now and then.......so im curious to what you guys think on the following...do you think that the dmf fault is within a certain chassis range and this is why not everyone has this fault? do you think it is maybe a seal and fluid is leaking on to the plate causing slipping or clutch plate? and has anyone actually replaced just the clutch and at what milage? |

As I posted in a previous thread that Matzker in Germany supply an uprated clutch. See http://www.matzker.de/product_info.php?products_id=1025 You'll need to translate this but Google translate worked. |

When my dmf failed, no shuddering or pedal drop. All seemed normal except for slip. Dunno what mechanics you've been talking to, wrong ones I suspect. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |
