Italy 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Java BlackDiscovery 3
Total Power Loss on Motorway - L3 Manual SE Diesel

Complete loss of power, luckily nearly halfway into exit. The disco had to be towed away and I am told the entire clutch will be replaced under warranty. Disco is 9 mths old.

Has anyone heard of this before? This was definitely a life threatning situation and not having a "crawl away" possibilty was a big drawback.

Last August I could smell the clutch. Software corrected the smell. I was told that D3 is not ideal in the manual version (??)

I would appreciate any help on understanding what happened.

D3 in Italy Sad

There were issues with clutch's on some early builds (a weakness somewhere). Was asked by my dealer if I'd noticed any slippage / smell especially when off road.

57K and mine is OK. Been driven hard at times and also off road too and had to slip the clutch when required.

From what I hear there were issues with some. But the clutch fitted is doing the job it was designed to do.

Don't think we've had a failure on the forum ASAIK
