This month we have started testing on a new material for the spigot bush as found in all Defender and Discovery 200tdi, 300tdi and Td5 Engines. The OEM spigot bushes and genuine LUF5000500 are not the most reliable due to the amount of load on the spigot bush.
We have found an engineered solution to prevent a noisey spigot bush, OEM spigot bushes contain a combination of Copper and Tin with very little if any Hydrocarbon Impregnated (Oil). We are now currently testing our new spigot material with independent Land Rover specialists which contains 20% Oil, giving a longer lifespan with less noise!
The new CNC wire formed clip from LOF replaces the original plastic clip that brakes easily! This will be supplied in all of our Clutch kits both TDI, TGV, TD5 and Series!
THE REVOLUTIONARY POWERspring PEDAL KIT
We have designed an affordable, cost effective pedal assist spring that reduces the weight of the pedal significantly.
THIS IS 45% STRONGER/ LIGHTER THAN THE LAND ROVER OVER-CENTRE SPRING AS FITTED TO TDCI VEHICLES
– 45% lighter than OEM “Pedal assist spring”
-80% lighter than no spring at all! (When retro fitted to TD5/ 300Tdi etc)
1. Does the POWERspring fit my DEFENDER?
The LOF POWERspring will fit Defender models 300TDI, TD5 and also TDCI PUMA vehicles.
In order to double check that it will fit, simply take a look at your clutch pedal:

In addition to the standard kit this bundle includes:
Due MAY 2019, A TDI clutch kit suitable for the 2.8 TGV HS engine, also perfect for OM606, Lexus 1UZ Conversions and also high power 200/300 TDI engines with a VNT turbo!
Developed by request for Motor Diesel Engineering (UK Specialists in the 2.8 HS International engine remanufacturing) :
The International HS 2.8 engine is a larger capacity version of the 300 Tdi, it still utilises the simplicity of the 300tdi yet with more power and significantly more torque. The HS 2.8 comes as standard with a VNT turbocharger and suitably uprated fuel injection pump, these, in conjunction with the extra capacity the engine produces 135bhp as standard with 277lbf ft of torque at 1400 Rpm.
LR 300 Tdi & HS 2.8 comparison:
LR 300Tdi International HS 2.8 TGV
Power: 111 bhp @ 4000 rpm 135 bhp @ 3800 rpm
Torque: 195 lbf ft @ 1800 rpm 277 lbf ft @ 1400 rpm
These engines have remanufactured 300Tdi cylinder blocks rebored to 2.8 with a VNT turbocharger fitted. The engines produce the same power and torque as the standard International HS 2.8 TGV engine, all engines include the following NEW parts, cylinder head, injectors, Injection pump (reconditioned), 2.8 crankshaft, 2.8 connecting rods, 2.8 pistons, timing case, timing cover, gears, timing kit, waterpump bracket, waterpump and all gaskets. The engines are complete with NEW alternator, power steering pump and vacuum pump.
We have been asked by a number of our Fitting centres and Independent specialists if we can manufacture a Heavy duty clutch kit for the Land Rover Discovery 3/4 TDV6. So we have taken this opportunity to use LOF HD organic friction for this application!
Upgraded heavy duty clutch kit using LOF HD Organic friction material,
This clutch kit is perfect for vehicles that have been tuned or remapped, that are used for Towing large loads day in day out. As well as expedition vehicles and off roading.
LOF Clutches is in the final stages of development of our Solid Mass Flywheel for the Td5 Discovery and Defender. We have engineered this product to give minimum vibration which is a first on the Land Rover Td5 market! **Expected ready for sale October 2018**
What makes our Solid Mass Clutch kit so different?
All solid mass clutch kits will include:
Special offer only £195, Our Output shaft kit uses genuine LR parts, The kit includes everything required to change the shaft, upgrade and remove that annoying clunking failure point!
The Factory fitted gearbox shaft was assembled dry, leading to metal on metal contact of the splines. This creates excessive wear leading to the clunking.
Our post production kit includes the genuine uprated shaft, as well as the EP grease required to prevent wear.
The best analogy for this: How long does an engine last with no oil/dry? Not very long!
However with the correct lubrication an engine runs for 200,000 miles, and the same principal applies here!

The EXTREMEspec Release Bearing is the Ultimate in Land Rover Clutch Release Bearings. We’ve taken the application and the concept of a standard plastic carrier with a bearing that is adequate then taken it to a new level.
Our custom designed EXTREMEspec Release Bearing has been engineering from start to finish with Maximium Strength and Reliability in mind.We’ve taken onboard all the issues that the standard type bearing causes and all the flaws it has and addressed each of them thoroughly.
We’ve made no compromises and applied the correct design features to maximise the potential of our product. We’ve selected the right material grade that will take extreme abuse and cope with temperatures beyond what could be produced by even the hardest working vehicle.
Unlike current modified release bearings carriers on the market we’ve not used the standard bearing. In our opinion its too small for modern applications and certainly not suitable for anything that been modified. As a result we’ve discarded it, started a fresh and sourced a bearing that is more than man enough, a bearing that is capable of loads far in excess of the application we will be using it for – this means it’ll never be tested and will always be reliable.
In addition to making our EXTREMEspec Release Bearing Strong and Reliable, we’ve made it long lasting adding a simple feature that allows grease used on the guide tube face. Oil rings keep the grease in place and protected from contamination. This barrier of grease will not only protect the release bearing but also the guide tube itself. It’ll also minimise clutch release bearing rattle, a common problem that gives a loud rattling noise on idle which is cause by a lack of grease and poor design tolerances.
Having looked at every aspect of the clutch release bearing there is only one more issue to resolve and the EXTREMEspec Release Bearing addresses this with absolute uncompromised logic. Historically the Land Rover Release Bearing has been attached to the fork via a very poor and quite pathetic plastic staple. Anyone who’s ever fitted a clutch fork knows that this plastic staple isn’t fit for purpose. They break, bend, melt and fall out. They were a last after thought but managed to be kept in production all the way from the early 70’s when they were introduced. For our EXTREMEspec Release Bearing we’ve designed a new clip from scratch, a clip that wont fall off, will keep the bearing and fork in place and will last. Our clip fits around the fork and is clipped to the bearing on both sides, not just one. You’ll not get any bearing rattle on idle and fitting will be easier. It is the Ultimate solution to finish off the Ultimate Release Bearing.
We’re so confident and sure that the EXTREMEspec Release Bearing is that strong and reliable we offer it with a LIFETIME Warranty, which means you have piece of mind. The warranty covers the carrier and the bearing.
