Hi all

Today i was reversing my 300tdi manual discovery and had to reverse of a curb which isnt that hi but as soon as i did the clutch pedal got stuck down (engaged) but i could still select gear as i had to select 1st to get me out of the middle of the road. So i got down and had a look and i pulled the clutch pedal up and all was ok, but arfter driving about a mile down the road i was getting a high pitched squeal only when i dipressed the clutch pedal whilst slowing down to knock her out of gear. But i dont get any noise if i just depress the clutch whilst staionery with engine running.

So has any one got any ideas as to what this could be?

many thanks
kyle

UPDATE

I have just taken the land rover out and she seems to be back to normal, but there is a very faint squeal that i believe is from the gearbox which disapears as soon as the clutch is touched even just as the slack is taken out of the clutch, so would i be right in saying that this is possible the release bearing?

Many thanks kyle

Chances are the release bearing is a bit shot, or got jammed in the clutch cover.

Or it got stuck on the slider shaft.

Either way it'll either be fine or shortly die, and either way you gotta take the gearbox out to sort it!

Well Im hopeing it just got moved abit and all is ok now I hope as have done about 5miles in her and she seemed ok, so fingers crossed!!!!!

Alougth something which i have discoverd is the fact that she squeals/squeaks until clutch pedal is used!!

But we will see!!
