Morning all!

freelander 2 sport is intermittently refusing to reverse and sometimes drive. Any ideas before this girl takes it to the garage and is at the mercy of the mechanics
Cheryl
 
Does it engage the gears OK, just doesn't move when you lift the clutch?

Can you feel it wanting to move or any strange sounds?
 
Goes into gear but won’t move when releasing clutch and l can feel resistance! Only happens intermittently.

Second issue is a very strange whirring noise when driving, sometimes very loud, sometimes quieter.
I’m going to get it looked at but just hoping for some pointers before l do!

Thanks Cheryl

More probably, the clutch need to be done.
If you can still move the car, take it to the garage before being stuck.

It's unusual for a manual to work then not work.
I'm wondering if it has an issue with a drive shaft spline, maybe slipping in and out of mesh, which prevents the wheels from turning randomly.

Thanks all! It’s in the garage as l type so hopefully it’s nothing too serious and can be fixed today because l need it for work tomorrow
