Clutch plate for LR 90

All the britpart bits I have had recently have been shit. I'd go for something else.

alternatives like borg and beck ones seem fairly easy to get hold of too:

NO...Valeo have been OE for years. I only fit genuine LR clutches mainly because if they fail (within warranty) a main dealer will change it FOC.

I would have thought maybe replaced the part only, not done the job.

No they do the whole job for you. Have done it for at least 3 of my customers.

My Tdi's have always been fitted with Genuine (Valeo) clutches, I do lots of towing with the road ones and lots offroading with the toy ones. I have never felt the need to use anything other than standard.

That said in almost 18 years of fitting Landrover clutches I have only ever seen 2 or 3 wear out all the others have been changed due to a failure in either the fork, cover or disc.

Since my last post, Ive just replaced the clutch on my 2A. I guess that the cover was the problem (tired springs or fingers i assume) - as nothing was visibly worn out but the pedal now returns properly and feels much nicer and lighter and it doesnt slip when im trying to reverse park it.

The old clutch came from paddocks 5 or 6 years ago and IIRC was the britpart one (the cheapest one they had at the time as I had only just started working). I've got a borg and beck one in there now.

So what do you reckon to fitting a Borg and Beck 130 clutch plate?

My last plate was a valeo plate for a 90, I don't do off -roading but I do pull a double axle trailer from time to time

Thanks for all your inputs, I've decided to drop the gearbox and make sure I've got my facts right about the clutch plate springs failing, then make the decision whether to uprate the plate to a heavy duty
