rover 75 tourer cdti clutch
 

hi to all
my rover 75 cdti has now done 110,000 miles and as far as i am aware the clutch has not been replaced my question is what is the expected mileage for the clutch

My diesel did 200k on the original clutch & slave.

How long is a piece of string?

Mileage is not an issue, a car that is up and down the motorway all day will do better then a car driven in stop start traffic.
The slave on my Tourer failed at 98,000

What makes you ask?

hi to all
at the moment i only drive locally because of the virus and it is stop start so the clutch is working harder

do you keep the clutch pedal pushed down when stationary?


Looking at the previous replies you have a range going from 98,000 to 200,000 +
Your car is now in the range where it could fail :D

My original clutch lasted 110,000 miles then needed replacing every 30,000 miles thereafter ! lol :getmecoat:

My first clutch 136000 . 2nd clutch 201000.
3rd clutch 214608 2 weeks ago.
Bearing failed so who knows really

You can prolong the life of a clutch by pulling away gently. Never hold the clutch down at traffic lights.

Never hold the car still on slight slopes or pedal down in a traffic jam.

On flat roads use 1st, 3rd and fifth gear changes.

If the clutch pedal is held down for more than a few seconds at a time it will start to over heat and fail. ( The slave cylinder. ) It's a rubbish design made from the wrong materials.

Mine has 170000 on the clock clutch changed at 120000 properly needs doing again just to add has anybody changed the DMF .
