Brake fluid and clutch... What do they have to do with one another?
As to brake fluid, it has to be changed at each B service, or every two years at the latest irrespective of mileage done. Reason for max 2 years is that it is hygroscopic, so absorbs moisture over time. Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Sorry Eric clutch fluid, have another issue with brake fluid but that’s another story.
So, £156.00 to take a look at it & now the same again to change the fluid (which should have been done on one of the last services but was missed by Landrover) All whilst under warranty, which isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.... |

As far as I’m aware of, and as opposed to brake fluid, draining and replacing clutch fluid is not necessary at all. Just checking level and topping up if required. That is also what the service schedule says. Maybe worth asking your garage what’s the logic of them wanting to replace your clutch fluid. My truck is almost 10 years, so come September my brake fluid will be replaced for the 5th or 6th time. My clutch fluid was replaced for the first time last year when they installed a new clutch after it self destructed after 9 years/88.000KM.

Basically they’re saying they want to change the clutch fluid ( and get paid for it) before they carry on with anymore investigations regarding problems with the clutch. And I haven’t got a choice about that..
