Clutch slipping is a well documented fault on here with early cars and all have been replaced under warranty |

The biting point of the clutch has always been quite high from new but I was assured by the dealer at the first service that it was not unusually so. Rich. 2007 GS Manual |

I had mine replaced at 24000 miles to it slipping. But it only slipped between 1800 and 2200rpm every time and did nt get any worse.

I've spoken to Land Rover customer service myself who insist there's nothing they can do as they have no records of widespread problems of this sort.This is why I'm trying to get a few examples together,perhaps with specific dealers who have been helpful,so that I can approach them again.My two nearest dealers have been pretty unhelpful but would willingly travel a bit further afield to one who might be a bit more sympathetic and not just keep quoting the 'normal wear and tear' line. 2007 GS Manual |

Mine now doing it for a second time. Now at 44k miles. Original one was replaced under warranty at 23K. Will leave it until 45K service next month sometime, to reduce hastle. I assume it will be warrantied. When they replaced my 1st one, the service manager said there wasn't any excessive wear visible. 1998 Feelander XDI Hardback - Gone

Just had mine replaced 2007 40000 miles, LR refused to honour the warranty and charged me £750 because it was fair wear and tear. |

So I'm not the only one to have been shafted by Land Rover.

It is very strange the mixed reactions here. On mine, I went for nearly a year with it slippeing from 1800rpm to 2200rpm in 3rd 4th and 5th. My nearest Land Rover Dealer said wear and tear.
