It doesn't make sense spending on a new clutch , but when the options are

1) £1000 for clutch, flywheel, hydraulics, you've got a car that will be fine for another 100k miles

2) scrap the car and buy another for £1000 that might have all sorts of other issues including needing a clutch

3) scrap the car and spend £5000...£10000 on something better (or a few hundred a month on a lease)

It mostly works out cheaper to spend what seems like a silly amount.

I had to do the sums on my ZT, it managed 160,000 on the original clutch, 60k of them with me. I need to get a few years out of it having spent the money and it is worth something now, without the clutch it was only worth about £27.50!
