Average life for a Rover 75 T clutch.
 
Ok Guys......whats the average mileage I can expect from a replacement clutch.

Please dont say how long is a piece of string...I dont want chapter and verse just a estimate within 500 miles.

I dont tow and I dont drive mad.just normal running around....

Thanks

Bill

I would be disappointed with anything less than 60k miles to be honest with normal driving.

My Tourer is on its 3rd clutch at 125k, but I don't know how long the original rover clutch or it's LUK replacement lasted respectively. All I can say is that the LUK lasted at least 30k before I replaced it at 125k.

what parts of the clutch have been replaced and what problem are you experiencing?
Do you keep the clutch pedal pushed down and the car in gear when stationary?

If you are talking about the Driven Plate then I would expect 70/80k. but the slave can go well before the Driven Plate some as soon as 20K

Banana is still on her original one, and we are on 209.744. Not bad for a 1.8t.

The factory stuff was pretty good wasn't it Bob? Wish we could get similar quality nowadays.

4 HGF’s and 1 replaced after the radiator failed. That was done as peace of mind.
