What part of the clutch are you going t6 change? I changed to HD clutch in the July 07. See 'Freelander clutch options'

Its the hydraulics, it comes as a sealed item. You have to disconnect the pedal linkage, then track how the old system is removed. Clips hold it all in place
i have had a look under the bonet there is a pipe comming out towards the right hand side of the bottom of the engine thats has broken of and lying on the mesh sump guard looks like it has a white rod in it this is where the clear oil was comming from is this the master cylinder or hydraulics & is this a easy fix ?
Search under freelander clutch - I think a bracket fails or summat. Its been covered many times before.

The slave cylinder has had it, you need to remove the whole hydraulic system. Disconnect the pedel linkage, twist master cyl clockwise to remove.

not sure about the part number but just had similar problem with my petrol model.
as you look in from the bonnet, remove the air filter for access to the slave unit. you'll see the cylinder and bracket.
easy to replace, the master is a 1/8th twist fit mechanism, but needs detached from the pedal first.
as described in a previous thread my cylinders practically disintegrated on removal
good luck.

petrol 98 model, 1 part unit? no great problem to fit, just remove the air filter for access to the slave cylinder.mind the hose routing and clip points. watch yer head when the master unit is unclipped as the pedal will spring uncontrollably upward.
the part i got had instructions for fitting also the haynes manual was usefull.
am no expert on these things but the change out was pretty easy.
are you changing the bracket aswell? if so watch out for the thread dimensions on the 3x bolts as i had 2 coarse and 1 fine thread bolts, don't know if this standard or not, just note the postions as they come out
