    Won't go into gear

    Could I not just do this by uncliping the clutch pedal and pushing the slave in?

    Won't go into gear

    It's a sealed unit so shouldn't need bleeding. I don't even think you can bleed them. I could be wrong

    Won't go into gear

    Good morning. Life sucks this week. I have a Landrover 1.8 Freelander that is the Bain of my life. This car has now basically ruined my summer as fixing it has eaten all my holiday savings. I had another thread explaining the multiple issues with it and how I fixed them and I had a good run...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Took the mount off this morning. It has a crack just below where he slave goes and bends easily. The slave was leaking from the gator. I've ordered these parts and given the are a good clean and lubed up the bit that get pushed by the slave. Hopefully this will be it or my holiday plans this...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Hope not. Well just got home after a really long wait and got the hydraulics off. The mount is bendy and the slave leaks. Fingers crossed. If it's the release bearing I take it that means a removal of the gear box. Ideally like to avoid that.

    One more thing when the engine is running the clutch pedal feels slightly bumpy when depressing and releasing.??

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Yes I always make sure that it's lubed. But the inside of the bay is minding at the moment with dust and ****. I still have hydraulic pressure as far as I can tell. The clutch pedal isn't flooring. The slave does move but so does the mount. Waiting for recovery now so hopefully they will be able...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    And it starts again. Drove to work today. All fine. Drove home from work and got about two miles before the piece of **** decided it didn't want to play anymore and wouldn't go into gear. Firstly it it was tough and could only seem to get into third but then it wouldn't go into any. So I...

    Can you fit a scuttle panel off a facelift 1 to a pre?

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Hi guys, please assist if you can. Having a few gremlins. Stripped the rocker and cam ladder a few weeks ago and refitted with gen rover sealant and correct tourques. Didn't leak for ages but today I've noticed an oil leak again. Highly annoying. Seems to be coming from the cam belt side. Hoping...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    All sorted. 10amp fuse had gone in the internal fuse box. This must of been because of a crushed wires to pump. The pump filter was grim blocked at the external mesh. When I emptied the pump of fuel loads of grit and muck came out. Anyway. Fitted new pump and it's running better than ever...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Um according to the Haynes the wire is white and purple. Bad times is its show a bit fat 0 amps! Ive checked a few others and they show ampage so it's not the multimeter.:-( Ordering new pump now. I thought it was the wiring at the pump as the loom had been punched by the rear seats but I've...

    Sorry to sound stupid. DMM? Also is the relay the fuel cut out switch? Sorry to ask but is there any chance of some pictures from anyone?

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Thank you so much for the above. I have a muilti meter. Is it just a case of sticking a probe either side of the relay and turning the ignition to on? Or do I need someone to turn it over?

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Good shout, but they're sound. The abs relay looks a bit corroded though. So that's another thing to look at. I've ordered a new fuel filter an seals. Read that these have a habit of getting blocked up seeing as how I've never changed it it could be this. Thinking back though some of the...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    I think the pump has packed up. I disconnected the fuel line at the inlet manifold and turned on the ignition. Online searches suggest this should cause fuel to surge out as its pressurised when on. Even turned the ignition. Nothing. No pumping of fuel, not even a drip. Could be a blocked filter...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    No I don't think it's the battery. Just tested it with the multimeter and even after me turning it over repeatedly for the last couple of hours it's still showing 12.6. How do I test the fuel pump is working?

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Help required. Please! Drove the freelander on Thursday and all was well. Today won't start at all. Symptoms include just turning over and over. Some of this may be my fault as I knew I had a oil leak from the cam ladder and have done nothing to fix it. Last week when it was very cold the cars...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    Just thought I'd let all who gave support and advice. So far so good. Still going strong. Just working through the tick list of niggles. Like the clock pixels etc. MOT next month so that will most likly dash my dreams. Today was the rear diff mounts change. What horror. Didn't help that it...

    Have I made a costly mistake?

    I replaced the seals all round and it seems to be worse. So it may be. The ones with the kit were generic so I replaced them with the sides ones. The oil looks to be leaking on both sides and the tide lines are higher than the block and look to be coming from the cam ladder. I think my best bet...
