Clutch has finally died, 174926 miles and 20 years (96 300 Def). The centre plate rivets have started to fail so the inner is rattling and one and one spring has snapped. Glad to say the old girl got us home but looking at the state of the plate it only had a handful of gearchanges left before total failure! Plate that came out was date stamped 96 and I have all the history since 2000 so I know it is the original. Actual friction material thickness is 8.4mm compared to 9.3mm for a new one (both valeo). Anyone beat this mileage for an original clutch?
