LOF clutch upgrade and Ashcroft MT82 Output shaft kit
My clutch is more rattly than a rattly thing, so looking to replace.

The truck is mildly tuned and will eventually add a BAS intercooler / nugget stuff intake / maybe a larger bore exhaust (retuned once all fitted); so would be helpful to fit a heavy duty clutch in preparation.

I don't tow very often, but do take it off road semi-regularly.

I was looking at having the LOF PowerSpec kit fitted and at the same time the output shaft kit from Ashcroft.

What are people's view of a fair price to have the work done?

Best quote so far was 10 hours @ £90 per hour. 2011 CSW XS 90

Ten man-hours seems high but not totally unreasonable to me. If I was doing the job (working on my own, out of doors, and at ground level on my driveway) I would expect to get it done in eight hours or so. With a four-post lift and more agreeable working conditions I would expect it to take me about six hours.

If you are going for a LOF clutch, have a gander at their one piece output shaft, I fitted one a few months back and it's a lovely bit of kit.
FYI I did that job over two very easy Saturday mornings so agree with Mr Wolf time wise Oh woe, oh woe

Embarassed I would have thought that 10hrs is quite speedy Embarassed
Perhaps I like to work a snails pace, but I am also cleaning (almost polishing) all parts that I take, off, inspect every bolt, every thread, every mating surface before re assembly. But I only work on my cars.
At work, glad that I get paid by the hour and not by the job Rolling with laughter 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

A timely question.

A colleague in work has just had the lof output shaft and Powerspec clutch fitted last week, he was charged 10 hours labour for the work.

At £900 labour I'm tempted to fit it myself.

I also need to replace the rear discs, pads and callipers; I'd love to sort the bearings at the same time too.

I could get a serious amount of kit for the money, but not having a driveway / garage kills the idea.

To be honest and not wishing to sound over dramatic, not having a driveway is the bane of my existence at the moment! Laughing 2011 CSW XS 90

This might sound a bit out there but I have heard of places that rent garage space, some even with lifts....might be worth a quick google, you never know. Oh woe, oh woe

As it goes I subbed out the wheel bearings, words like " pre-load " and "shims" put me off a little bit.
Admittedly I only changed the out put shaft, so I didn't have to burrow that far in, but the biggest thing for me was not crushing my skull with the transfer box once I had unbolted it. Oh woe, oh woe

There's a good video on the Land Rover Tool Box channel about doing the wheel bearings on TDCIs.

He suggested that you use a dial gauge to work out what size spacer you need and then order the appropriate one.

There's only four or five sizes, so I was intending to order two of each and would send back the unused ones. 2011 CSW XS 90

In other news, Try BG Landrovers in Monmouth, I have no connection with them but my mate had a load of work done on his Sport there and they were very reasonable cost wise Oh woe, oh woe

Thank you for recommending BG Landrovers Mother superior.

I spoke to Tom over there today. Sounded like a genuinely decent guy and knew what he was talking about in terms of defenders.

Booked in for January and he's quoted £500 to fit both the clutch kit and the output shaft.

How did you get on fitting it wyvern? 2011 CSW XS 90

No worries at all mate, happy to help. I'm going to book mine in sometime next year.
