Well basically iv got parts and labour cover up to £500. My clutch needs replacing which is covered on the policy but......the policy does not cover "friction" parts". As my clutch is at the end of its life and its probably the friction plates that have worn out is there any way I can still claim? My policy states that to claim I have to call out the AA upon breakdown and get towed to a VAT registered garage

But the policy wording says its covers clutches in brackets (not friction parts). iv got a friend who ownes a garage near me who agreed to tell the AA that the release/thrust bearings failed. Problem is, will the AA accept this or will they want to inspect this themselves? Obviously its impossible for the road side assistance to check this at the time of breakdown

Typically if the thrust bearing has failed then it causes alot of nasty noises and/or complete failure, If it's just slipping then they will know straight away

Cool thanks mate. So if I drive it till the clutch goes completely and then call them out they SHOULD cover it on a mechanics word that the thrust bearings have failed? Its wrong, I know but I just don't have the cash to pay for the full job myself
