100milesaway Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Help please. My Freelander clutch is getting more difficult by the day. I'm struggling to select gears on occasions. I don't think it's the plates,more the spring thing. Is there any way to adjust it like we used todo on cars or will it be a new clutch. What sort of cost should i be getting ready for as i don't want to do nothing and wait for it to let me down. Thanks in anticipation from Auntie. :look: B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Clutch master cylinder can be a problem on Freelanders,symptom starts by having to push pedal further & further to floor to disengage.Sometimes bleeding helps for a short time.Last one I bought was @£115 off fleabay.Depending on feel of pedal could be cylinder or pressure plate but I can't help on clutch replacement prices.

The Reverend Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I second the master cylinder, they are notorious for giving up well before the actual clutch does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbly Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 If it's the master cylinder you can normally pump the clutch pedal really fast and it'll get any better for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Thanks for the replys so far,but i don't think it's that kind of a problem. Pumping the pedal doesn't help at all, iv'e been told locally that it could well be the pressure plate. Does that sound logic . The freelander is 4 years old and has done 73000 miles. I'm just wondering if it's possible to adjust the clutch or if it will be a new one, and a rough idea of price. Thanks once again from Auntie.

Chris Bb Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Had a "53" plate Freelander from new, went through 3 clutches in under 10,000 miles! Part exchanged the day it went out of warranty. Pity, apart from that it was a good car which I would have hung on to, just never trusted it not to happen again at my expense and have to have reliable car for work.
