Last time I drove the car was in May this year, when sorting out an ABS issue for the owner, the car has covered circa 170,000 miles since fitting and it still felt nice.
The trick with these is how you thread the pipework through the hole in the bellhousing........it needs to be done without the use of force.
When it comes to mileage, the car has just shy of 500k on the clock, and this is the third clutch since new

Evening Brian.
When fitting the slave cylinder to mine I felt it wasn't easy to fit with the metal pipes. I'm sure the originals had semi flexible piping? What's your trick please?
