Frelenader 2l di

Hi all,
I have just bought a freelander year 2000, di diesel.
Because I have never had one I would like to ask a question.
The car is only 76000miles, it starts well and does not make any knocking noises whatsoever and drives well but the engine as I start moving and until it doesn't rev a bit the car shakes a bit, since it revs higher it seems to be smoth.
Because i have never driven a diesel engine it sounds a bit strange, just wondering if it is normal or there would be any problems, would appreciate your help,
thanks

Mine does that on pull away in first cog. Its clutch judder.

BTW, whats a Frelenader when its at home!!?

Hi,
I fell it more if driven in 3rd gear at low revs as I am driving around slowly, and the cluch pedal catched up very low, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Well, answer the man - whats a Frelenader?

The only suggestions I can offer is to either get the clutch out and refurbish it, or live with it. Not much else you can do.

thanks for all your help

It's a surprisingly revvy turbo diesel. Give it a little more right boot, there's not much torque between 1000-2000rpm, so more loud pedal and less time slipping the clutch makes it much smoother (at least in mine).
