In answer to your previous questions the original owner had a very large twin wheel caravan so I suppose that the clutch led a very hard life but even so 64,000 is very low in my opinion

Not really. It all depends on how and under what conditions the car was driven.

kit?
I had a friend who seemed to get through clutches very quickly. A visit to his house explained all. He had a driveway on a steep slope and kept his (large) caravan in a shed at the back of the house. Watching him reverse up the slope with the caravan on made me cringe!!! The smell of friction material was eye-watering!

Yes very similar to previous owner who lived opposite my parents,a sloped driveway and caravan (which was huge) round the back garden took several manoeuvres on and off clutch to literally drag this behemoth of a caravan onto the driveway,but not very often I'm relieved to know , hopefully now I can get this clutch fitted ASAP
