My Freelander 1 has been out with a large trailer. When trying to reverse into a tight area up a small rise, the clutch eventually started smoking, and it wasn't due to me slipping the clutch.
I'm just wondering whether this would be down to a worn clutch just not being able to handle a heavy force or the Freelander not being up to much when towing a big trailer - and so if I intend to keep towing I'd be better starting afresh with a new clutch. the landy has done 129,000 miles. I've not done many in it myself so no idea on what sort of life the clutch has had.
Only signs now are of a very slight judder when setting off. I may have trashed it?
