I had someone drive my FL2 today and they remarked how heavy the clutch pedal was, ie how hard you have to press down on it. I suppose I have got used to it and the clutch works fine but it got me wondering if there was some adjustment or a big spring somewhere up in the pedal box that needs looking at. Any suggestions? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

The freelander clutch seams to get heavy with age, I usually bleed the clutch and brake system and it improves lightens the pedal.

Why should bleeding the clutch make any difference? I am prepared to believe you but can't see how it would work unless the fluid is getting like jelly. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

The clutches in all cars seem to get heavier/stiffer to operate with age. You don't notice until it is replaced, or someone tells you. It's probably a combination of wear & lack of lube on the moving parts. Maybe also the mechanical linkages assume sub-optimal positions too.

The FL2 clutch cover has an auto adjust system apparently, according to the manual.
I know thats what the garage said partially seized up on mine causing premature clutch wear, maybe the stiffening of the pedal and operation is connected with this device? just a thought.

This may not be related but the only time I experienced a heavy clutch, when I had my manual was when I did prolonged motorway driving. It felt like you were pushing the brake pedal in at times then a couple of gear changes and it was back to normal MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

Reason why Changing the clutch fluid and brake fluid is due to the fact hydraulic fluid absorbs moisture over time resulting in more effort being required to compress the pedals.

Brake fluid absorbing moisture will not affect pedal pressure and is only changed as the absorbed moisture can reduce the boiling point and cause internal corrosion.

No I don't buy that one. First of all, for all intents and purposes, liquids are incompressible regardless of what is dissolved in them. The reason for changing fluid is certainly to remove absorbed water (it's hygroscopic) and this is so that if the fluid gets too hot it doesn't start producing steam bubbles which make the liquid compressible and make for a soft pedal which is one factor in brake fade.
I guess i either have a slave cylinder that is getting hard to push or the master cylinder seals are swollen (does that happen?) or there is a big spring on the pedal that is in need of slackening off. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I had the same problem as hinchy on my old manual fl2, heavy clutch on leaving a motorway, then returned to normal after few presses, dealer replaced overheated clutch and faulty slave under warranty.

My Freelander clutch was heavy and felt funny under foot when I picked up my Freelander form the paint shop.
Clutch was very heavy and Snatchy causing the car to nearly stall. Pumped the pedal a few times then drove home it then improved slightly over time but doesn't feel quite right as 1st gear to second sort of crunches slightly. Is this down to a failing master cylinder that attaches to the pedal as I had a replacement clutch and slave cylinder a year ago.
