I have recently purchased a 2006 manual with 115k and as you do i had it serviced and then had the cam belt done as its 10 years old. Now i have a clutch slip that is getting worse. I have seen on here that this is a common issue and its in this week for a new clutch DMF and slave. The question is what else can i expect to shell out for?

Hi and welcome.
There are tons of threads on here about points to look out for and good/bad things. I think there is even one for things to look out for

Not every FL2 will have faults. 115k on a the same clutch is good for any car never mind a 2.5 ton 4x4 so its not surprising really, and you have done the right thing getting the service and belt done etc..... prevention is better than cure!

Thank you.
I was going to tackle the hadrex oil and filter next as I have heard that causes issues. I asked a E H Douglas a land rover specialist near Banbury and they told me it won’t ever need doing. Not going to take the risk

wise choice, LR say its sealed for life but other manufacturers that use Haldex systems have service intervals for them to change fluid and filter.

site sponsor Bell Engineering (Austen is his name) have been used by many on here for work on diffs and Haldex, very knowledgeable guy and very helpful.

Well i think they are starting to fail and drop off.
I have been emailing Bell Engineering about servicing my hadrex and it turns out my transfer box is toast. It would appear i brought a really heavy 2 wheel drive

what leads you to that conclusion with Austen ?
may be worth getting it physically checked by him as email tennis can be a bit misleading sometimes

When parked with the engine off and in 1st gear you can freely spin the prop shaft. Austin diagnosed spline failure.

fair point, I was just curious to know the symptoms as the splines had gone on my Evoque between gearbox and transfer box.

Oh dear it’s not great is it. For now I am going to have to leave the transfer box as I have sunk everything I have to sort the clutch. Austin says it won’t do any more damage but it will just run as a 2 wheel drive.

yeh I no longer have the Evoque, it was sold to me by LR Approved with badly repaired accident damage. It had taken a serious knock on the nearside underneath and down the side and the impact had damaged the transfer box or parts connected to it. LR failed to pick up on it so it wrecked the splined shaft to the gearbox which resulted in a replacement transfer box and gearbox under warranty, but then the clutch/DMF was then highlighted as being faulty as well which wasn't covered by the warranty. So the car went back to LR.

Mine was just a component failure, it was as a result of being smacked hard into something.

Oh that’s very interesting. I have noticed they the near sided back window has been refitted as it’s not flush and the centre pillar trim looks like it’s nit fitted correctly. It’s put on with a foam sticky pad under it. I also seem to have a strange steering thing when turning right. It steals a correctly then steals in tighter I was putting it down to a warn ball joint. Maybe mine has had a smack. I now wonder if I ha e been sold a cat D. Don’t think it says on the log book.

mine wasn't recorded as far as im aware, certainly not repaired by a LR dealer as LRCS checked.

I have just been told by my mechanic that he can do my clutch for £345 and clutch and flywheel for £570. Was amazed at the price. Everywhere else quoted £1300 +
