John Paul at Rimmer Bros demonstrates the process of replacing the clutch on a Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5.
This video also encompasses the installation of:
Rear crank main oil seal.
Spigot bearing/bush.
Dual mass flywheel.
Clutch release bearing.
Clutch fork.
Starter motor.
Slave cylinder.
Transfer box seal.
Transmission brake shoes.
Propshaft Rubber coupling.
){kind=link}
We just did all of this. But then the clutch wont release: We took the air out of the system. Today we even tried to renew head and slave. We pumped and tried to air out from slave and up. Nothing works. Is there a trick to take the air out that we dont know? Done a bunch of gearboxes and never had this before. Could it be a faulty clutch and how do we check that? Everything seems to sit perfect. If the frictionplate should be turned wrong, would that make it not disengage?
Hey John, you are a super competent craftsman, excellent video, so helpful.Thank you.
Excellent video – what is the right moment to put the bell housing sound deadening cover back in ? – we see it come out (4:15) but not going back in again.
Excellent video.
Isn’t the transfer box input seal icv100000 ?
RIMMER bros changing clutch disco td5 outstanding JOHN PAUL camera work & narrative I only hope the macanics that do work on my disco r up to Ur standard alas no RIMMER garage local to my area well done again JOHN PAUL
Brilliant, straight to the point, no self show boating. Proper chap. Thank you for your effort, much appreciated.
Excellent video – very well edited and concise.
Woowwwwww this is full of good information,
thanks.
Clean instructions without the waffle!
Im experiencing difficulty finding reverse. I have no slipping or any other symptoms however there is some clear oil on outside of transfer box. Is this symptomatic of a worn clutch or just fluid loss due to worn seals etc?my clutch pedal is a bit soft and can now move easily between gears while switched off without dipping clutch.Any tips would be appreciated.+++ what would be the cost of the work demonstrated typically at a garage?
Does the flywheel need to be replaced when replacing the clutch ?
Great video John Paul
my clutch slips when accelarating when im on a open road is this the clutch problem ? fantastic video
great video – I had my clutch replaced last year by a local garage because I did't think it was something i could tackle even though I have done loads of different cars and transit clutch changes.
the garage made a right hash of it and I can't get reverse without turning off the engine, selecting reverse and starting the engine back up. I have only done 300 miles since they changed it and decided enough is enough.
they keep telling me to run it and run it and it will get better hmmm not happening.
I watched your video today and the way you have explained everything, gave me the confidence to tackle it and I decided to get the box back out.
I have it all out and to be honest the clutch don't look like a new one and the flywheel has got a lot of play in it, not only rotational movement but side to side, is this supposed to have a lot of play in it??
I gave him the money upfront for the for the parts (3 piece clutch & spigot bush).
also I was trying to look at what side the clutch plate was facing in your video but couldn't quite see it. the plate has not got any writing on it to say what side is flywheel side.when i took the pressure plate off the clutch plate had the long part of the shaft facing the pressure plate, is this correct???
thanks in advance for any comments or help you can offer so i can get it all back together and working.
regards
Mick
keep up the great vids, I will be keeping my eye open for more.
Excellent video & clear instructions. Thanks John Paul and Rimmer Bros, as this is a job i need to do on my LR as well.
Great video, but what is the tool used for removing and installing the spigot bearing called?
EXCELLENT!!!! This is the way an engineer's technical video SHOULD be made. No silly self-aggrandizing (I'm so ruddy clever) waffle and no annoying 'errrrr' pauses or distractions. THANK YOU. Subscribed.
Absolutely brilliant video…. clear and concise instructions with unobstructed views. Excellent mechanic.
This chap has produced a no nonsense very good video, well done.
Very clear instructions no waffle this is how the job is done.
Very informative, remind me NOT to buy a LR!:-)lol
thanks for getting back to me. I wasn't sure on best way to go about taking dash out to access wheel box but I had a go and it wasn't to bad so I'm ok thanks again

Defender 110
hi great videos I've a 05 defender and need to change wiper wheel box.. any help on that
thanks
Drew
Loved your video! I got a 2001 Discovery Td5 and it's making a rattling noise when the clutch is pressed during gear shift. It's becoming a bit annoying and I wanted to know the parts that needs to be replaced. My local mechanic says the problem is not a major one. I want to take actions before it's too late. Thanks for the help.
Good job!!!
Can you do the same with a Defender John? Thanks.
Very well done, just a curios question. I recently watched an old camel trophy episode, and they had to replace the clutch on a defender, so my question is, is what they would have done in the bush?
Thanks for the reply in advance.
Excellent video and info.
Excellent and informative video,, Many thanks. Keep the good job up.. Well done
Very helpful
