mrpip Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi all, clutch pedal went spongy and gear changes a bit clunky, checked clutch fluid it had dropped but still some in so topped up to correct level, no visable leak around master cylinder or slave as far as I can see. Dropped it off yesterday at a local gearbox specialist who as far as I can see just clamped off pipe to slave to check master, then came up with it would need gearbox off and it could be rod coupling to fork in clutch that has worn. They didn't charge for this and said they were waiting for a price for parts, anyway went out today as it still drives ok, pulled onto a main road and struggled to get up to 50 with foot flat down seems like turbo not kicking in. Went home checked round turbo can,t find anything amiss with pipes or see were they had removed anything, don,t know if it's a coincence or another one to sort. Any ideas welcome as booked in next Thursday at an independent landrover workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutt Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 when you say struggled up to 50mph was the engine reving . clutch pressure plate seizing looks like box out and clutch replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 If this wait until Ditchman gets back from his ‘hols’, I’m sure that he’ll have the answer. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 The TD5 has so many electrics it can often go into limp mode. I had an auto, so obviously different but any problems at all I had two green lights flash on the dash and into limp it went. If it does it again, turn off, remove key, this is important as the brain knows the key is in, wait 5 minutes and try again. It 'should' clear it. The fault code remains in the brain to be downloaded later. I'm sure I have the Haynes manual in the garage if it'll help at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
