Hi,as above,a friend of mine has one and his clutch has gone.He wants me to take it on,but i'm not too sure it's something that can be done on a driveway......

Thanks...Wayne

I'd have a look under there and see what it looks like but, if it's anything like the landie I wouldn't go near it ;D

It's going to be 2 props to disconnect and a big, heavy lump of a gearbox to drop down for a start.

do not forget to mark the splines when you remove the front torsion bar suspension, and bring a lot of friends to help you,its bl££dy heavy.usual issue with these is the first motion shaft bearing likes to seize,so check carefully.alternatively walk away, not for the faint hearted!!!

Not a job I'd do on the driveway!!!! I remember doing a Landy one in the workshop and that was bad enough.... Then, the following weekend I managed to get another Landy in after a Green Flag call out, yep... Gearbox change!! I wasn't very popular with my mate in the workshop as we'd been swearing well at the other one!!  ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Still, it was easier second time round!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
