Sold it, cost of new clutch was a feckin joke........and the last straw!!!!
good choice.
Sorry you have had a bad time with the FL. Mine will need doing by summer I reckon. Just been quoted £330 inc parts and vat. I thought this was pretty reasonable.

That's probably just for the clutch plate and cover, and not for the slave cylinder, DMF and clutch plate / cover which is recommended for replacement on a TD4. The price for this little lot varies from between 500 - 700 quid, parts only. Then anything from £300-500 for labour (not mates rates), and you can see why folks get the hump. Just had mine done, for just under a grand which I thought harsh, but what can you do................ can't sell it with a knackered clutch, may as well fix it and enjoy it for a while longer

Ouch!! mine is a K. I think the clutch is more straightforward to replace.

Used the Freelander to jump start my M-Benz Sprinter.
It's 18 month old 85 amp/hr battery has totally failed - 3.6volts
Freelanders rule - OK
Will now have to get a new battery for the Freelander and put the old one in the Sprinter.
Looks like its going to have to be EuroCarParts again - with the magic 25% discount.

Yeah, mine was a Td4. All told parts and labour, inc. dmf was minimum £1k.........was going to do it myself, but parts were almost £600. How can this be right ffs????
Anyhoo, as im a masochist I swapped it for a 300tdi Disco...ha ha ha ha, ooops.

adjust near handbrake under console
I tried that first,from about 7 clicks to 3 or 4 but still wouldnt hold on steep gradient unless I wrenched it up hard,
so had drums off, checked cable wasn't seized, roughed up shoes with sandpaper and brake cleaner,
adjusted them out as far as poss to allow me to get drums back on,
Works a bit better but think I need to take them all apart to check adjusters are working and will probably fit new shoes whilst I'm at it, although not too worn at mo

not sure, how can I tell, freelander is 2003 td4
yours will be like these LAND ROVER FREELANDER 1 L/H REAR BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTER | eBay
check to see if they are seized, use a thin smear of copper grease on the threads
Check that the drums are still within tolerance.

Yes They are exactly like that, I did manage to turn them with screw driver to adjust out but a bit stiff, when I get them off I'll take them apart and give them a good soak in diesel, and then grease them like you say,
Cheers
