    Difficult to get in gear!

    probably bracket is cracked and slave cylinder is "wobbling" when you press the clutch pedal, clutch fork arm isn't making full movement and gears not shifting right.

    Difficult to get in gear!

    if you follow the selector rods near the gearbox you'll find the articulation, if it has excessive play, bushes are worn. LR will only sell you the hole rod but you can get some repair kits, but it is not something to do on the side of the road.

    also check the Clutch Slave Cylinder Bracket, it's mounted in the front of the gearbox, the place where the cylinder sits is known to crack, this was mine 3 years after being replaced by a new one the gear linkage bushes might also be worn causing reverse hard to shift in

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    it was all painted before wrapping the handle, you can see yellow paint under the cord. the chipped parts are due to the needle used for getting the knot done.

    fitting longer breathers; can't get old on out!!!

    Done, thanks for the help guys!!! at the end I left the rear dif breather in it's place, warmed the new hose a bit and slid it over the old one, to make sure it was air/water tight and wouldn't pop out I wrapped some heat shrink tubing over it. hose runs along brake lines from back to engine bay...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    after using Liqui Moly Diesel Purge last year http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/easy-injector-cleaning-220900-2.html I've started adding 2 stroke to Diesel at a 1/200 ratio, I feel that the engine is a bit more responsive and less noisy.
