What had happened on this one was the clip either disintegrated, or as i suspect was never put it as there was no trace of it and the bellhousing is a sealed unit!. So the bearing was making contact with the spring plate under ideling and driving and bouncing around the shaft.

Its basically worn a groove into the spring forks on the clutch pressure plate. Will post a pic tommrow of the damage.

Why the hell landrover used this pathetic plastic clip anyway is beyone me tho.
