Heavy/ high clutch, advice please
My 120k diesel 75 has a clutch that will soon need attention (a little life left yet I think) it is the original clutch and the car has 120,000 mls on the clock so fair doos
What is the best way forward, costs involved, recommended parts, I intend to keep the car as it is otherwise in excellent condition and just passed its MOT V |

It also might be worth your while fitting Andy's new master cylinder sooner rather than later, you may find like me, that it improves the clutch pedals action. Its a separate from the clutch swap job and not too involved a DIY job. My view on spending on cars, is that some things are worth putting up with, others are best laid out for ASAP so as to get maximum use and value out of them.

The clutch in my CDTi was heavy when I bought it at 90k but it didn't give up until around 155k.
Do a search for bleeding the clutch it can make it last a little longer |

I'd drop Andy a message and get the lot changed - it's a wonderful feeling!
