has it got a hydraulic clutch? if so, this is the problem, i had a freelander with a hydraulic clutch and i had to 'pump' the peddle to get it into gear, pain in the arse,
if it is hydraulic then it will definatly have some sort of header tank - very small though, normaly situated on the bulkhead, put some brake fluid in the pot, and then pump the peddle loads, please bear in mind though that this is not a 'fix' because it wont take long before the fluid has leaked out into the gearbox again,
but first things first you should determine if it is hydraulic of not
