Finding gears!!

Hi Guy's, Over the last few days i have noticed now and again that it is hard to get it into gear, does'nt happen all the time like i said, and it's all the gears. Any idea's? Thanks

Push yer clutch down!

Or get yersen a gallon of petrol and a packet of matches...

Maybe an oil change would smooth things out.

Beginning to think it's the Clutch slave cylinder! When the engine is running there's resistance when i am trying to get into any gear, then whilst still pressing the gear lever, if i turn the engine off, it slides straight into gear?? Any ideas Cheers

it works hydraulically from the master cylinder push rod doesn't it.
If it is a k-series or an l- series it is a sealed for life assembly and can't be topped up.
If it is a td4 then you could try to top up the hydraulic fluid.

Yep, it's the L series.

Hi Guys, Changed the clutch pack yesterday, thought this had sorted the problem, just the same, does this mean i need a new clutch?? Anybody know the price for this job doing? Cheers

A clutch kit from land rover in chester is 100 pound which i find to be spot on for a genuine.

Freebie is in the garage now!! £280 for clutch, and flywheel needed skimming £30, so thats £310 in total, should be picking up in next couple of hours.

Yep! Thought that was quite reasonable. Thought i would phone main dealer for a laugh this morning, £898.61 for the clutch and if it needed the flywheel too, that would be a further £600!!

Not sure, it was a proper clutch and gearbox specialist, so i would asume they did.
