im about to change the master clutch master on my freelander but my brother who will do the work says they may be a problem bleeding it and it may have to go to the garage is it possible to tow it with a tranny van
and what problems am i about to encur
 
i was under the impression that the master and slave cylinder came as one unit with the pipe fitted and full of oil ready to go, least mine was anyway:D
 
Although the Td4 unlike the petrol has a two piece pipework the connector is self sealing and the sytem in not refillable.
The second pipe does end in a bleed nipple but the system should not be bled normally during the life of the system. I suppose if you have a problem with excessive pedal travel you could bleed it as a last resort to try and resolve the fault but if done excesively you would end up replacing the complete system anyway.
 
If towing a Freelander, it becomes an unbraked trailer due to being over 750kg. Think we've discussed this many times, it being illegal without (overrun ? ) brakes.

Agreed. But they would have to have the engine running, whilst driving using the gears. If not, then they’d be coasting. That’s illegal too. :D

Cost me £57 inc vat to have my Freelander carried on a truck 8 miles to a garage. That includes the truck driving 8 miles to my house, and his trip home of 13 miles. Hiring a truck to shift a car further doesn’t cost much more.
