[disco-v8]

my neibour who has got an L reg 200TDI came to me today and said his clutch pedal has gone hard and he cant disengauge the clutch....

well my thought striahgt away where that the ball pivet has gone straight through the arm....

whats the best way to check and see if this is the problem????

Undo and slide the gearbox back or remove the engine :shock:

sorry, but the only way I know :roll:

is there a way of seeing if the arm is at fault b4 taking the box off???

mine went back in feb you could check it by taking the slave off and if the push rod sticks out more than half mine wasnt   gearbox out again

If the narrow end of the clutch fork (where the pushrod is attached) is hard against the back of the bellhousing, then the fork has most likely punched through. A disintegrated clutch plate will make this happen as well. Replace the fork with a reinforced item - this is a very common problem with clutch forks.
