freelander clutch sticking to floor

any ideas before I goto a garage, but my 2002 model td4 clutch is starting to stick down when doing first and reverse maneouvering etc.....very annoying and I must look like a member of the fairer sex when parking in a car park :) (only joking)

My 1984 110 started doing this as the clutch master was failing, replaced before it got any worse. it was probably the original part so the chances of this on a freelander I'd say was small but thought I'd mention it.

Pushing the pedal down it wouldn't feel smooth and when releaseing the medal it wouldn't come up smooth like something was catching and holding it down. Was most probably the knackered seals rubbing on and around the piston.

Sounds like the master cylinder. You need to get this sorted ASAP before it fails altogether.

Assuming you are in the UK, it should be covered under the warantee.

Update the car is 1 month out of warranty the dealership says its the secondary cylinder that is going and they should be able to push it through on warranty but they advise that I pay for a new clutch as I wont be paying the fitting, clutch £200 fitting £500, car is 3 yr old

41000miles.

I cant understand how much trouble ive had, : turbo went in first 3 months A/C gone 3 times Constantly leaks oil. Resonator box always rattles

2x warranty bodywork £600 of suspension replacement 3 months ago due to knocking noise.

the irony is that this car has never gone off road ie they should be used to be thrown about a lot more, when you pay £20000 for a car you expect to be in a better league, Jesus man, my wife bought a BMW 316 for the same price 12 months later and its perfect.

My experience with freelanders is "buy a Rav4" however i cant understand how 7000 more freelanders were sold last year than RAV4's

I not familiar with the Freelander at all, but before you try all the suggested expensive solutions....

Is there a return spring on the pedal? It could be wound round the pivot shaft or be mounted externally. Is it broken?
