I had clutch slip so it was replaced but the job was delayed slightly as dealer decided that DMF had to be changed too. I had no symptoms of that. I've just passed 2x the mileage of the failure (75k) so second one has done better.

You could hit them with the fit for purpose and/or satisfactory quality argument as per Sale of Goods Act 1979. The warranty does cover it and wear and tear argument is daft. Best bet will be to try another dealer or ring the warranty ombudsman. Solicitor involvement is a last resort if they won't budge. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Phone call today from Customer Services, offering 50% of repair cost but apparently they are only doing that because the dealer is insistent that this should be a warranty issue.

Look at the photo you seem to have plenty of frinction material left on the clutch plate so that's obviously not worn out, which should lead any inspector to flywheel and other components. you'd think?

I ain't no engineer but the photographs don't depict a knackered clutch. Could the problem be some contaminate on the plate. Someone posted about this with the cause being a dodgy seal on the crank shaft (?) MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Thanks for the input guys, it is obviously difficult to make a decision based entirely on photographs, but I didn't see anything either that indicates driver error, which begs the question what special skills do LR Technical Services have in photo examination.

Finally got my car back this morning, as a result of my email to Land Rover CEO, a senior engineer spoke to the dealer and determined that they did know what they were talking about and that Technical Services were wrong in refusing the warranty claim.

Good result, but a shame you had to fight for it.

when a clutch wears if ts had a good driver the driven plate will be thinner on the flywheel side. If its had poor driving with heavey use then it will have more wear on the cover side.

How can coasting out of gear affect the clutch? |
