Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help please. This is my first Land Rover which I bought about 2 months ago and I'm not a mechanic. (The limit of my expertise is to change hoses, crankcase breather and EGR valve.)
The clutch on my 2006 Freelander Td4 is stiff to push down. I only need to depress the clutch pedal about half an inch to engage gears which I can without any problems.
However - with my head in the engine bay and my wife pushing the clutch pedal up and down - I can hear a squeak which I think is coming from inside the gearbox and probably the slave cylinder.
Any ideas what may be happening and what I should do about it please.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Nodge, It's got 71K on the clock and I thought the clutch might be giving up but was hoping someone would tell me different

Nodge, My guess is that replacing a clutch is difficult job. Is it possible to do it on the driveway or am I going to have to take it to a garage?
Any ideas what cost it might be? Thanks.
