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?

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

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.
