My clutch replaced at:- 8000 miles
16000 miles
24200 miles.
Faulty electrics - dipped headlights not always working, fan unreliable, windows opening by themselves, indicator unreliable, tyre pressure warning light stays on.
Air-bag light stays on.
Passenger window not always aligned so have to open window then close again.
Fuel consumption gone haywire since last clutch replacement.
Car was not purchased from main dealer, but have used their services for each problem. Main dealer insists clutch wear is because I am a driving instructor. Car is due back in garage now because of clutch judder and possible gearbox problems. Have negotiated with original supplier for replacement vehicle, but have also sought legal advice under the Sale of Goods Act to force the finance company to take back the car.
