Another V12V question...

[SAG6Y]

I drove a V12 V yesterday and was surprised at how high the biting point of the clutch was. Again, got the 'the all do that sir' response. Is this the case? It was quite hard to modulate and the bite was right at the top of its travel. It felt odd and want make sure it's not a sign of clutch wear.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think it was right. I'll go back to them and ask to investigate. Apparently the sales man said they couldn't tell clutch wear. Is that definitely possible?

[SAG6Y]

Yup. Exactly that. I had to take my foot fully off the clutch before applying the throttle. It also made moving from standstill a little clumsy.

10k. So would be surprised if it's worn. I've asked the dealer to investigate before I part with any cash. They have 2 other v12vs I might drive to compare.

Thanks for the responses. I've been in touch with AM and they've tried the other 2 V12v they have in stock and assure me they are all the same. They've had a good look over the clutch and it's operation and say its healthy. Running out of reasons not to buy this car!!
