Hy all !!
I'm new on this forum.
To present myself, let's say that I'm from France and that me and my dad are working on our white vandenplas in order to give it a new youth.

I couldn't any clutch in France, there's no distribution from Lucas or any others.

So I'm asking for your help. Do you know how I can get a new clutch for my car or anything to change it ?
Is there equivalent in other brand (landrover ...)

Thanks in advance

yep
the price is interesting
but how can you be sure this clutch is compatible with my car ?

When I search in France, everyone told me that there is different clutch models for 2600SD1.

Is it true or all SD1 2600 1984 to 1987 have the same model ?

I'm not an expert on 2600 clutches but when I checked with Rimmers they say all model 2300/2600 have the same clutch EXCEPT late '85 models on,where its only the clucth cover which altered.

So,the question is now,what year was your car made?

Yeah,sorry,I didn't notice the title had the age in it...that one one ebay should be right (he gives 7 days to return if its wrong).
