After 73,392 miles of use, the original clutch has finally cried enough! The release bearing and fork were blitzed - so much so that a small part made it out and lay on top of the bellhousing [photo 3] :eek:



We've fitted an genuine clutch [£160 from Fiat] and also a new slave cylinder [£70]. It's now bedded-in and feeling back to full health.
 
so was it the release bearing and fork rather than the clutch plate that went and would you say that was down to L drivers and all the reversing and 3 point turns, I'm thinking that's quite a decent life for a driving school car.

How long did it take to change?
 
Yes, it was the release bearing and fork that were worn out [to destruction!]. The friction plates were not too bad and there was never any sign of clutch slip.

I agree, the mileage is pretty good considering the number of gear changes made per mile travelled. As you suggest, the amount of manoeuvres alone significantly increases wear.

The time taken was approximately 4.5 hours [including the slave cylinder]. As my Dad was busy, a garage located on the same site did the job.
