[disco-babe]

:) hi im a new member in need of help i have a landrover discovery 300tdi and was on my way home from england when the temp flew up and it lost power ,, i checked oil etc all fine but i think my clutch is worn,, but my problem is there is strange noises from my gearbox and it fells very slugish ,, can anyone help me please

[MAB]

is there smoke coming from exhaust ,is white or black?, check to see if the oil as a white milky colour. if it has possible head gasket or cyclinder head problem.

[disco-babe]

:Dhi there is no smoke at all it is just making a whining noise from gearbox and fells like it has no power

[bananahead]

I take it you stopped when this happened?

Did it drive normally once you let it cool down?

How long has this whiny noise from the gear box been there?

What does the clutch pedal feel like?

If the clutch friction lining has worn away and it has been slipping against the flywheel, that would cause a massive heat build up and give loss of power symptoms.

[disco-babe]

yes i stopped but it got worse on way home and the noise is still there we were towing another landy when it happened

[disco-babe]

i still have a clutch but it dont bite till the very end of the pedal

[Swingletree]

Sounds like the clutch has worn away then, sometimes they smell like hot brakes when they get worn.

It would be worth checking the clutch fluid level just in case its a stuck slave cylinder or something.

Did you get recovered to a garage?

[disco-babe]

no we kept going till we got home im affraid i may have killed my baby

Sounds like new clutch time to me.

Paddocks do clutch kits for about £60
