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? macafee2 |

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 macafee2 |

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. |
