Whirring noise when cluthc pedal is depressed

(That obviously should say 'clutch' ). I had a lot of help the last time I posted and would appreciate any feedback on my next problem. I have an 06 Freelander Deisel TD4 which has developed a noise when the clutch pedal is depressed, more noticable when it is held down. I can only describe it as a low whirring noise which goes when the pedal is released. Could it be the precursor to something more serious? Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks, Dave

I too had this sound thought the worse that it was the clutch release bearing, as the clutch bite point was very close to the floor took a chance and replaced the master cylinder 20 min job bled it though. the noise disappeared the bite point bit higher. the noise was where the clutch was dragging. Happy days forgot to mention its a td4 03

Thanks for that positive reply. I did have a mechanic friend have a listen to it and after a lot of sucking in of air he said its an expensive job (£800- £1000).

What would be a 'typical' price for the type of job you had done?

(I'm a TV engineer by trade and hate it when customers ask me that question, often down the phone, without any description of TV make, model )

replacing the clutch master cylinder is fairly easy to do cost about £50 ish to buy and there is a how to somewhere on this forum, if your clutch bite point pretty low you could maybe try bleeding the clutch first

Cheers. Thanks for the reply. I'll look into it at the weekend, weather permitting.

I would say clutch release bearing. That price is exorbitant - half that is about right, but if it is the CR bearing - live with it.
