Its for the same reason that I use 2 stroke oil in the derv even though I'm sure LR would react as if I told them I was putting sugar in the tank !


Ho Rossy, how much 2 stroke oil do you put in every fill tank full?


Hi Nicks

the ideal quantity is 50ml per 10L of diesel

This morning I (reluctantly )cut a small square out of my LR mat to enable the clutch pedal to travel fully. I stuck a piece of thinner rubber on the back to stop the muck getting through and then forgot about it.

Later the missus came back from the shops and remarked how the gearbox appears to be 'loosening up nicely' as it was going into gear so much easier. So its definately not a placebo situation !

I wonder if such a simple thing is contributing to transmission issues of which there seem to be many ?
How many owners have genuine LR mats which although expensive and excellent quality are possibly too thick to allow a proper gearchange ? I don't know - maybe its not relevant but it just might be worth looking at

FANTASTIC!!!!


I have used this in my Audi A2 and VW Beetle and I have to admit, embarrassingly, that it seems to work...

Sorry - bought mine from Italy Neutral Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

I would have thought that if you have to push the clutch down that far it must be nearly worn out. The biting point should be much higher up, surely..? (Disclaimer: I drive a TD5, so no idea how this compares to a Puma drivetrain)

Biting point is higher on mine too - on a Puma. I have carpets and mats and still have loads of travel Confused Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
