Probably most of the population, judging by the brake lights being on

Advanced driving teaches handbrake on, in neutral, clutch released. It is only a faff until it becomes an automatic response, then you don't even know you are doing it. For me, I began doing it in my 1st year of driving - I have never had to replace a clutch since, in a car I have bought with a healthy clutch.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

My own personal experience of failure so far is nil over five years.

I swapped my OEM MC for a TAZU MKII billet alloy version, simply because the OEM MC had developed some wear on the push rod eye and its 'feel' could have been better.

The MkII TAZU fixed all of my issues and has been 100% ever since - that despite others reporting failures and issues with this version.
