I have a 56 plate 2.5 turbo it has only done 24,000 miles does anyone know if there is any adjustment on the clutch and should it be worn out after only 24,000 miles. Or do I need a new clutch.

as to whether it should been worn out after only 24,00miles. thats impossible to say. depends on how its been driven. If i had worn one out that quick id be angry with myself< if you dont know the history of the car then its an unknown. I used to fit a clutch for an old girl every 5000miles lol cos she insisted on driving around with her foot hovering over or on the pedal and when i went out for a drive with her it was perminatly slipping. im talking even a new clutch could be heard to slip cos she had an inch of pedal still to let up. Many people drive with there foot on the top of the pedal or holding on the clutch on a hill. every time anyone does this its wear on the clutch shortening its life
