Sounds like it -

1) Bleed the system properly.
2) Replace clutch and master cylinders.
3) Start crying.

When clutches wear out, they usually slip, not drag as in your case.

I suspect the hydraulic release system is failing as suggested by the Mad Hat Man.

Try bleeding the system before selling money out.

I agree with the above. Bleed the system first. If this doesn't work replace the master and slave cyclinder. Simple job, any Freelander owner can do it ;-)

you can't bleed the 1.8 clutch, its a sealed unit and comes complete and bled from the factory, if it fails, you change the lot

Fairly expensive, but pretty easy. I;d rather have a job like that than one that is cheap but a b*****d to do.

The cylinder assembly (for a diesel) is £46 plus VAT, genuine part from LR.
