Not totally SJ related but here goes. A friends clutch keep slipping on his fiat, it has been changed twice, not by me, but keeps doing it Can the flywheel maybe cause the problem?

Is it correctly adjusted? did it have a new release bearing fitted?

Yes mate biting point is about halfway on the pedal and was told it had all been done

It could be the flywheel if worn, or it's been skimmed up.

Some years ago I had one machined up at work on the face that contacts the friction plate. Quite soon it started slipping again. I then realised the face the cover plate bolts to needed to be set back about 1mm and giving a step to the friction plate surface.

Effectively due to machining the flywheel up I had removed some of the clamping force from the cover plate, if you understand what I'm trying to say!!

Right got round to starting this today. First of have been told clutch had only been refurbished so I got a compleat kit for it, also when all the problems started I did ask about oil or grease getting in and was told by the original person that fitted it that it was not a problem.

So to start it was a typical pain in the butt to do, but 3 hours it was all out, and every thing is covered in oil and i cant see how its getting in. So tomorrow is going to be spent hunting and hopefully getting it back together.

Oil in the bell housing is usually a crank seal.
