That I didn't know. I thought the standard thing was for the clutch to go between 90 and 120k miles.

Certainly my 1.8 is on her second clutch, which was there when I bought the car on 80k miles.

I think also because the diesels tend to be the higher mileage ones too so more things go wrong, more wear and tear etc.

MFL (2.5 V6 Automatic) is definitely still alive, I have just sold it to a new member 'Claudec' (Colin) who has just put it through its MOT

Here she is along with another beauty a White 2.0 V6 Tourer that we have just acquired for a family member and it now resides near Wick in Scotland

hope that helps your quest

Okay, so now my personal life is starting to settle, I am going to try and do this again - so far I have the cars in this thread, plus a handful off Facebook - nine cars in total. There has to be quite a few more out there, so if you know one, or see one on EBay, let me know!

Ravinder · 21st January 2018, 16:08

I've seen a few on the facebook pages. Have they been accounted for?

Not wishing to hi-jack this thread, - as a new owner of a 2001 CDT with 107,000miles and no current clutch issues, what is a typical clutch life in miles on these?

Sorry, I only drive auto - I have made the register into a web page, just considering a subdomain or where the heck to host it...

They tend to last 100k upwards. All depends on how the car is used as well. Eve since my clutch was replaced, I’ve compleely changed my habit in how I now use the clutch.

MFL is still out there and well looked after

BF51 ZHA White Tourer, 2.0 V6 Connoisseur, manual gearbox, is still owned by a relative of mine and is due to go up for sale.

Hi there, I'm new to this forum but have been looking for a nice 75 for the last few months. I managed to purchase an immaculate Old English White 75 just before Christmas. It's only had 3 ownwers 2 had the car for 17 years and I bought her off an old gent who had hungered after this car from the other 2 gents since the car was new. The car has always been garaged therefore she's immaculate inside and out. The old gent (LAST KEEPER) only had the car for 8 weeks, and only sold it because he drove an automatic all his life and with failing hearing could not hear when to change gear or remember to dip the clutch at a junction or traffic light, so kept stalling her. The engine inside the cabine is as quiet as a ticking watch.

She is now under blankets within my garage (house) in Swansea South Wales which is where she will stay, until the summer months.

My car is registration W813OSS. A 2000 2.0 V6 CLUB SE

Regards Phil
