How old's Your clutch ?
My standard 97 UK wagon is still on its original clutch after 65,000 miles . It judders quite badly and a new one is imminent .
It crossed my mind that this might be fairly unusual .Has anyone else managed this sort of milage on one clutch ?

I've got 70K miles on my UK Classic T2000. I get a bit of clutch slip when I give it more than about 4000rpm to pull away quickly and also a bit of judder sometimes pull away with lower revs on. But as from earlier today I do have a new Exedy clutch waiting to be fitted along with 4 new Toyo T1R tyres

I had over 90K on mine when it decided to give up the ghost, this includes trips to the pod and alot of fast road action.
It started sliping on the Saturday, booked it in to API for the Monday, by the time it got there which is about 300 miles it was really bad. Don't leave it too long!!!!
