Hi folks , mechanics putting in my reconditioned gearbox today so I thought it makes sense put in new clutch ! I got one for £165 from Dingbro motor factors & unfortunately not lining up the pressure plate different size than old one !
I called motor factors back and can’t find my van on their system ! They just gave me a standard lucas 2.8 jtd clutch for a Ducato !

Has the old parts got any identification numbers on them that the motor factors can use?

Clutch plate fine and fits
Presume plate too big

To be honest, if the mechanic is worth his salt, then he’ll know exactly what plate you need, by comparing the old one and the new wrong one. Also, he should be able to source one from both the chassis and engine numbers and VRN for you. There should also possibly be info on the old plate. Make sure he changes the slave release bearing as well.

Good luck

your motorhome may well have been registered in 2002, but chassis/engine etc could have been from the previous year, what does the plate measure across?

would seem your clutch plate is the 'older' (pre 6/2001 model)

2.8 i d TD clutch | FIAT Ducato

Hi Guys, I have a 2.8 i d TD and the clutch is on the way out. It is the 8140.43 engine on a W (2000) plate which was imported from Germany in 2007. I have had a good read of the other threads but to no avail. The Fiat "Helpline" will only say "Contact a dealer". The motor factor says...

This looks to be the size, but a kit. Don’t know if you’ll be able to get the right sized plate on its own.
