405 diesel clutch

[Bilbo Baggins]

Don't like to brag but my 405 diesel has done 157,000 miles on the original clutch.

It feels like it has lots of life left in it still.

What is the average life expectancy?

Dunno, but my old Volvo did 230,000 on first clutch. Second clutch was still fine when I got rid of the car at 350,000. I hope I can expect as much as you from my 205 D and my Cit ZX 1.9 D.

I owned a 405 which was used everyday for my work etc. It then pulled a caravan for weekend trips.. For 2-3 weeks of the year it took us + caravan to places like Switzerland, S.France, Bavaria,etc. Friends would say you`d wreck the clutch. When I sold the car it had clocked 155,000 miles - same clutch!!

Right.......
My 405 was used for 15 years as a taxi in Beirut,
it had 750,000miles on the clock and bullet holes in every body panel. AND it was still on the origional clutch! ;-)

Pythons has a lot to answer for!
Perverting the minds of already fairly perverted children. On a more serious note, the only pug clutch I've ever lost in hundreds of K miles, was on a 309. That one got really hard to press down, snapped a cable, bent an actuating arm but still worked, albeit with a bit of a knee trembler, when the car got scrapped.
