Help me make a decision on what to do

My 53 freelander TD4 was running great, then the clutch pedal stuck down. The local 4x4 garage took it in and said it was the internal slave cylandar. At the same time I had the clutch renewed. He did say the fly wheel was a bit worn and tried to get me to replace that as well.

Result is a new clutch that judders in first gear (it did not with the old one) then on first day the clutch pedal again stuck down.

Cost for £510

Am I getting robbed and what should I do in the morning when the garage opens. I am about to stop his cheque that I paid to him Friday

Stop the cheque (right is might). write a pleasant, but forceful letter to the garage saying that yu have still got these problems, that you have stopped the cheque, that you will give him a set time (1 week?) to correct the faults and, on satisfactory completion you will pay the invoice (there was an invoice?) in full. If there was no invoice - then "what work?"

contact trading standards and ask for their advice.

What MHM says ...

I seem to recall that this fault is possibly also the clutch fork? so they may have simply done the wrong thing!

I always get 3 quotes to make sure I'm not getting robbed.

Doesn't help saying this but I think it's just a master cylinder fault..:doh: I certainly would have tried it first.

I agree ^^^^^. When this happened on my previous FL , it was cured by replacing the master cylinder.
