Hi David,
If you depress the clutch and engage first gear and leave the clutch depressed
does the clutch gradually start to engage? If so then the master cylinder seal
is leaking. The fluid level is fine because no fluid is leaving the system. It
is simply escaping back to the reservoir.
All the best,
Rob Hill

That was my first thought, but can't think what else it might be.

Sounds a low mileage for the clutch to be worn out

Hi Chaps,
I need some advice from those much more technically gifted than I.
I have a 1998 4-4 with 30,000 miles on the clock. I took the Mog out today
and noticed the clutch pedal travel seemed to be getting longer and longer, or
to be more precise the take up of the clutch is very close to the floor. I
guess it must be new clutch time, however in the past with other vehicles a
slipping clutch was the sign of a worn out clutch and not pedal travel. That
said, I had to replace the clutch on the Defender some time ago and if I recall
that was also pedal travel rather than slipping.
So a few questions, do the symptoms suggest a new clutch and is it an
engine out job or can it be tackled from underneath?
I have checked the fluid levels are they are fine.
Thanks
David
