Title: *Sniff* *sniff* - "Whats that smell?"
Post by: WessexElectricNutter on December 31, 2014, 07:57:04 pm
Not espace related but still a Renault, its now started to worry me about my diesel espaces clutch.! Yes, toasted one, had the car for 54,000 miles (from when I past my driving lessons to now) at 18 years old and this evening, the clutch went out. Well, I can still drive it, but hills? Oh forget them, it was difficult getting up the hills on my way home, using only 1st and 2nd. The first time it did it, I thought "is this an untreated road?", nope, it did it going up a hill in a high gear, then "Oh god! My clutch has finally let go." With 151,000 miles on the clock, time for a new one. (I think this one was changed at some point though, the throw out bearing was never right in the winter)

Anyone ever had a clutch go on them? If so, what was the mileage?
