Hi folks,

I'm currently working on a Land Rover project, using an Audi V8 engine, and i'm trying to work out a reliable solution for the clutch.

As it stands i was going to use the stock audi flywheel and pressure plate, with a landrover TDi friction plate inside, however i've been informed that when people install a common diesel upgrade motor (International 2.8TGV) the standard friction plate tends to disintegrate. My V8 is producing around 30lb/ft more than the TGV, so i'm looking at alternatives.

Someone has suggested that a "Sierra Cosworth 4x4" clutch plate will fit the splines on the land rover transmission, and will presumably handle the 300lbft just fine, however i dont particularly want to spend £££ on a new clutch to find it doesnt fit at all.

So what i'd like to know is if there is any differences between the clutches fitted to the various sierra models, ie MT75 / 4x4 / T5 and if anyone perhaps happens to have an old/worn/dead cossie clutch laying around that i could have/borrow to check the splines against the input shaft on the R380.

Cheers
Kevin
