    1.8V Freelander - Gear Stuck in neutral

    Just got a quote from my Garage. Its the Head Cylinder for the Hydraulic Clutch thats gone. Gonna be about £100 for me, so if you get it checked out before it knackers up the whole thing then it'll be cheaper for you :) Sam

    1.8V Freelander - Gear Stuck in neutral

    I was having that problem with my car :(. Yesterday was at CO-OP and the clutch went, pedal fell to the floor and stayed there. Had to pull the clutch pedal up with my foot and then pressed it again, same thing happened. Got taken to my mechanic, most probably the hydraulic system. Dont know how...

    Strange smell..

    Thats weird actually because tonight i've noticed the oil level needed topping up (which is what I did) which is the first time since i've had it that it needed doing. Same with coolant, coolant goes down rapidly, topping it up every 3 or 4 days :( No head-gasket symptoms yet though :S Could...

    So you think you know your Freelander!!

    I had this problem with my '01 XEi 3dr! Really made a horrible clunk when I made a hard left or went down a pothole or something. Turns out the whole rear left side of the chassis had come apart from the body, and it was welded back in place with no more clunking to be heard of :)
