Okay, bled the clutch a little with no apparent change. Maybe I need to do this until the new liquid emerges. However I did pass at my local mechanic and he said that its most likely the clutch housing with the fingers/teeth and not the friction plate itself. This causes the vibration through...

Chris, this sounds a good option as nothing else has solved the problem. I haven't tampered with the Master cylinder yet, so I assume it is meant to be a sealed unit (first time I've ever heard of a sealed unit, then again I do prefer my older cars). So I guess you topped up with DOT3/4, and did...

Cheers Allan, I had been reading through the forum posts on this, spooky clutches and so on. Before getting to a fix can I therefore assume from the number of people saying its best to replace the Master cylinder that the unit is either factory sealed or unfixable. Its the sort of thing that in...

When starting there is no problem, but during a drive at some point the clutch doesn't seem to return fully and for this reason its hard to select a gear with the subsequent press. This must be associated with the heat of the engine as for the first two to three miles there is no issue. Then...

Couldn't agree more. My Father-in-law when he heard where I was taking it to get fixed held his tongue, but later told me they over charge as what customers are charged is used to subsidise the attached showroom. So in a time of financial crisis its good to know I'm propping up the fork-tongued...

Cheers for the comments, and I hear ya all. We did get a quote for getting the one cable done which was cable and max 2 hours. When they said I needed two I thought well then maybe 3 hours as everything is in place to move with the skilled hand of a master land rover mechanic with buckets of...

If my father-in-law wasn't with me (helping me with translating, though my Catalan would have covered this) I was ready to tear strips out of the mechanic. Hind sight is a wonderful thing Ming, if I had thought that the price was going to be even half this I would have done it myself. But as I...

Am I in a different dimension as today I've just returned from getting my wife's Freelander 2002 TD4 fitted with 2 new handbrake cables for €603 ??? :eek: I normally repair my own (a VW T3 and a Montero Mk1). But wanted to get this one done right for my wife (and our two boys). I'm in Spain...

My access to the rear brake adjusters are spot on, sounds weird that they aren't. I also have my Wife's Freelander with an unequal length at the equaliser, though having had both drums off and tested the cable both operated correctly. Could one cable be from a pre-2001 and the other...
