Well i fitted a new clutch kit 6 months ago..
clutch started slippin about a month ago.. checked everything i could and decided the gearbox would have to come out to have a look at the clutch..
with the assistance of paul and danny, out came the box, and the clutch plate was fubar!
loads of the copper coloured wire but not much friction material left, it appeared to have crumbled and there were a lot of holes in one side of the plate. other side of plate was perfect?
now i dont do racing about or drag racing away from lights..
so was it defective?
supplyer is goin to return it to valeo but he dont hold out much hope for a refund, so i had to buy another clutch kit (£85) and fit that or wait with the car aff the road til i got a response from valeo. no one has ever managed to get a refund, to his knowledge, as its a wear n tear part.
Anyone else managed to wear out a clutch in 6 months?
or am i just special?
