Changing the clutch on a Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5. 

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.

Brilliant, straight to the point, no self show boating. Proper chap. Thank you for your effort, much appreciated.

The best "how to" video I've seen! Clear explanation without waffling and bullshit. Well done! Please do one on ball joins replacement. Thank you.

This chap has produced a no nonsense very good video, well done. Very clear instructions no waffle this is how the job is done.

Absolutely brilliant video.... clear and concise instructions with unobstructed views. Excellent mechanic.

Billiant! No nonsense. What every RU-vid 'How to' video should be like.

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 video and very professional.. You demonstrate that if a job is worth doing, it really is worth doing right, and not cutting corners......... There are not many mechanics I would trust with my D2, but you truly are 👍. Excellent and thanks for sharing..

Hey John, you are a super competent craftsman, excellent video, so helpful.Thank you.

Great video, I must admit when I remove these gearboxes I don't remove the Drum and shoes I just disconnect the cable from the handbrake lever and pull it down from underneath the vehicle, those 10mm crossmember can be a pain I agree

Excellent video & clear instructions. Thanks John Paul and Rimmer Bros, as this is a job i need to do on my LR as well.

If only all videos were like this! Thank you for posting.

All joyn the party saying.... amazing job mate 👍

Great video. Thanks.

Awesome video yet again

Woowwwwww this is full of good information, thanks.

You made that look so easy lol THANKS

I know everyone hlas already said it but… brilliant video cheers

Good job!!!

Very helpful

Needed my clutch changing. Would have loved to have done it myself so I could do these other bits and bobs whilst everything is accessible. Unfortunately I’m just one guy who has only the road outside my house so I thought it a bit too much to do by myself.

Thank you for your suggestions! In a defender, I need to remove both engine and gearbox, is possible to lift together? Should I separate transfer box before and leave in place? Which approach do you suggest? Thank you

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.

Can you do the same with a Defender John? Thanks.

Merci . Thank you

Good video my geArboxx is making a metal clunking sound theres something spinning inside it aswel so meeds To come Out

Hello mate great video what’s the pipe coming from the slave cylinder called thanks.

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?

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?

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.

Does the flywheel need to be replaced when replacing the clutch ?

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.

hi great videos I've a 05 defender and need to change wiper wheel box.. any help on that thanks Drew

great video! Can you provide the part numbers for the transmission and transfer box mounts please?

is it neccesary to remove the handbrake drum or is it just a weight issue?

my clutch slips when accelarating when im on a open road is this the clutch problem ? fantastic video

7:06 Why does the sump need to be lowered when installing the real main oil seal?

Clean instructions without the waffle!

Excellent video. Isn’t the transfer box input seal icv100000 ?

Great video, but what is the tool used for removing and installing the spigot bearing called?

Hello, do you have any solution for the hardness of the clutch on the td 5??? 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.

What was the reason for disconnecting the hand-brake?

A trikki task to be honest only to be done by experienced mechanics not any do it yourself

In my D2 Td5 i did over 200k and never had to replace the clutch!

Very informative, remind me NOT to buy a LR!:-)lol

The amount of parts that have to come off before you even reach the clutch😫. Land Rover Engineering 👎
