Over Revving Problem

A bit of advise is needed please, apart from the MK1 we also have a 54 plate Freelander 1 (TD4) which has started over revving. Any ideas what the problem might be, what should I be looking at ??

All help/suggestions are welcome - so far the car has already cost me just short of a grand this year so I'm reluctant to send it to the local garage again as at this rate I'm rapidly running out of cash to get it fixed !

Fair enough to save money my friend but the problem is a bit lacking in detail.
How and when is it over revving?
From cold, warm, hot or all of the above?
Stationary, pulling away or what mate?

Not that I have the answers but we need a bit more meat added to the bone.

And you still might need to  have it plugged in to the computer to find the answer!  

My last three Land Rovers, no matter what problem I had, all I had to do was take a 4lb lump hammer to it!  

This seems to be a bit of a random problem, I nipped out the other day (only for about 10mins - started from cold) and the car over revved twice. The wife was then out last night on a longer journey and once again the car over revved on a couple of occassions, We haven't been on a long run recently to see if this is just a cold issue or also happens when up to full temp.
When I was out in the car, it appeared to be when changing gear the car continues to rev when the clutch is depressed rather than releasing ?

Apologies for being a bit lite on the info but this is a relatively recent problem.

Give it a blast for 100 mile down the motorway and back to clean the cr^p out of it.
Then see how it behaves the next day or two.

Also known as sh^t or bust!  

Or
Throw money at it!  
Or
Give it to me!  
(I still love Land Rovers   ) I know, I know but…  

BUMP - any ideas anyone !

Surprisingly Mike your idea seems to have worked,  a bit of a blast and touch wood no further problems
