If there is none, then good chance its the slave thats gone. Im told mine will be either £500 or £950 if...

    Is this the clutch or something else?

    Hi, 2004 Td4.... Over last couple of weeks have noticed that the bitting point on the pedal is getting lower and lower. So much so, that its quite hard to get in gear now and the pedal is on the carpet. First 60% of the pedal travel doesnt do anything at all, just slack. Have described...

    vcu and propshaft

    Are the bearings replaced at 90 degrees to the propshaft? Are they LR, OEM or cheap bearings? Haynes says that the bearings should be at 90 degrees and there is a tool that LR use to set this. S'pose you can see from the existing marks on the underside where the old ones were positioned...

    Does anyone actually use HDC?

    I have used it several times going down steep tracks (loose stones/gravel) and indeed have activated going up as well...has been very effective on many tracks as well as a couple of steeper roads in the snow/ice. Why activate as going up you ask? Well, it works in reverse gear (as well as...

    Service costs

    Find a land rover specialist to do the work for you, Land Rover and other 4x4 Servicing & Repairs Probably do a better job than Landrover dealer and will be cheaper. When I was speaking to a mechanic (can you call them that these days) from one of my local dealers he was saying they are...

    Update on my TD4 Commercial.

    Now on 82,000 so another wee update..... just so that some people can see that there are some freelanders that are good and reliable and not all tales of woe on here! At the last service (72k) I had the prop bearings changed again. Although no real signs of wear, as mentioned before they had...

    Leaving an FL standing

    Just to add my two penneth... I bought a 04 td4 in August 08. It had 12,000 miles on it.... so about 3,000 a year. I think it was a pool car for a company. Anyways, its still running well at 76,000 so the low miles then didnt do it any harm. Steve
