My 53 freelander TD4 was running great, then the clutch pedal stuck down. The local 4x4 garage took it in and said it was the internal slave cylandar. At the same time I had the clutch renewed. He did say the fly wheel was a bit worn and tried to get me to replace that as well.

Result is a new clutch that judders in first gear (it did not with the old one) then on first day the clutch pedal again stuck down.

Cost for £510

Am I getting robbed and what should I do in the morning when the garage opens. I am about to stop his cheque that I paid to him Friday

Stop the cheque (right is might). write a pleasant, but forceful letter to the garage saying that yu have still got these problems, that you have stopped the cheque, that you will give him a set time (1 week?) to correct the faults and, on satisfactory completion you will pay the invoice (there was an invoice?) in full. If there was no invoice - then "what work?"

contact trading standards and ask for their advice.

What MHM says ...

I seem to recall that this fault is possibly also the clutch fork? so they may have simply done the wrong thing!

I always get 3 quotes to make sure I'm not getting robbed.
This thread didn't get lost then

Doesn't help saying this but I think it's just a master cylinder fault..:doh: I certainly would have tried it first.

I agree ^^^^^. When this happened on my previous FL , it was cured by replacing the master cylinder.
