Freelander 1 Sad Tidings. And many Thanks.

Hello all.
As i have always opened my posts. As I'm 64 and have advanced health issues, when the clutch pedal went to the floor almost, I was gutted. I was aware, that as there was no loss of fluid at the master cylinder at the pedal. looking up inside the car. It must be the slave cylinder inside the box...
I topped up the system and its been working fine, a bit of clutch judder.
That said, I know from this forum that the problem is the slave ,
So, where next.
FL2?

Depends really.

If you like the car, its in good condition and is otherwise reliable... then spending some money on it... maybe take the 'opportunity' to replace the clutch, and slave... would be a good idea.

However, if its time to change, the F2 is a great car If it goes wrong though, I feel repairs will be more costly than an F1.

Before you despair. Bleed and renew fluid in clutch. It may just last another year. As no loss of fluid then you might be lucky

I don't know the car at all but can the space leak into the bellhousing? Fluid on the clutch surface would cause the judder

If you can bleed the clutch, just do it every six months. If it's generally reliable and you like the car it's worth keeping.

I've owned the motor since 2011 and its been one of the best cars i have ever had. That said it has been well looked after, as any one searching my posts will see.
It is going to be very hard to part with this.

Cheers all.

Dont part with it if it means just sorting the clutch. Within 6 months of owning my fl2 it needed a clutch. That and dmf was £1k
