nicnac Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 How much would it be for a new clutch to be fitted (roughly)? also can anyone recommend a good freelander specialist in the wiltshire area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigfarmer Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have just bought the misses one which grinds going into reverse, but goes in easily. The pedal is pretty much on the floor so i figured the clutch can be bled although having just got home with it i dont yet know how !

nicnac Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 do you mean select 2nd before reverse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicnac Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have been speaking to my local garage and they say it could be a number of things causing it from the gearbox itself, master cylinder, slave cylinder or the clutch and could cost upto £1300 depending what needs to be replaced is there a way to determine what is the problem without spending £100's on diagnostics?
