You have no way of knowing, so I make a point of swapping it anyway.

The car as built, had a sealed for life hydraulic clutch system - so no moisture could get in. Unfortunately the hydraulics of the clutch may not have been as robust as it could have been.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
