Come on, I'm waiting for the answer to this as I can't for the life of me understand whats going on, a picture would help us hugely. :confused::D;)

Hi all! My clutch sarga continues and have a question or 2 to point me in the right direction, My freelander is an L-series and had a new clutch, and master/slave cylinder fitted less than a thousand miles ago but had stood a while when I bought it. The clutch is now slipping only in 4th and 5th...

Cheers mate, strange thing with the clutch, I lubed up the release arm where it meets the bell housing and the clutch is much lighter to press and did'nt slip at all until about 30 mins of driving then started again but not as bad, same on the way home from work, no slipping until nearly home...

It's in the shed at the moment, one of the brackets was rusted through on both points where it bolts to the body, Brackets are no longer available so waiting for a left hand side step to come up on flea bay to replace it!:doh:

If only all the problems were so straight forward!:scratching_chin:

Couple of pics after a wash this afternoon.. [/IMG] [/IMG]

Could well be but would only know by taking it out and then may as well change the clutch, I have just been taking a good look and have found the slave cylinder piston/rod that attaches to the rusty and seizing release arm is not straight, sort of on the squif so thinking the slave may have...

Hi all, after the hassle of getting my L series project through the MOT I have completed my first week driving to work and back. A few issues to iron out, starts and stops good, engine runs perfect, no knocks or bumps or noises from the suspension or 4wd. Steering wanders a little but looks like...

The debate continues... may want to check this out guys.... Extralube ZX1 Copper corrosive? - YouTube this information was below the video... Extralube ZX1 extremely copper corrosive, IMO not suitable for cars and any other application where copper is widely used! the zx1 was heated using a...

Hi mate, this "formula" has been knocking about for years under different names and so far the suppliers have never come up with any scientific evidence that it benefits the engine in the long run. The suppliers used to join car forums and recommend it until they were rumbled and when pushed by...

scrap that just read your post properly and acceleration stops it not the other way around. sounds like one of the aircon/power steering pumps or alternator bearings or possibly a belt tensioner giving out?

engine mount? engine moving forward and back (rocking) when accelerating or decelerating and when switching off? had this on a couple of cars before.

Hi mate, depends on how much of a risk your prepared to take, I used to buy lots of turbo diesels with blown turbo's and clean out the pipes and intercooler and replace the turbo and sell them on. The problem is you won't know the extent of the damage to the engine until you have repaired it...

Viva La Freelander revolution! :D

Well it passed! brakes were at the bottom of the acceptable percentage but scraped through :o after this I don't think I would buy another freelander to do up but I only paid £400 and it's a diesel with leather and aircon, 4 wheel drive system was overhauled by dealership with new clutch last...

Hi, thought I would put up a photo of my freelander, dropped her of for the re-test tomorrow, brakes still not great but have my fingers crossed!!

That is my next job, I paid the garage to inspect the brake system and they said they were all fine but then again they said the alternator booster pump wasn't working and it was so going to strip front brakes next as the rears were done when I changed the shoes, greased up the adjusters and the...

Just re adjusted the rear brakes and handbrake cable and has made some difference, also tested the vacuum. foot on brake pedal switch on engine, brake pedal sinks slowly and stops after a couple of inches, when driving and braking the pedal pulses lightly, a bit like ABS coming on but...

Just to confirm the brake peddle feels hard when pumped and has say an inch or so at the top of the peddle of softer action. the peddle does not go the floor or sink etc... :confused: also you can hear the pads on the disks when you brake as they are still a little rusty but starting to clean up...
