Around 50k, could have been 48, could have been 49 who knows.

I suspect mine will go on sunday now...

i take it 5 days means lenght of ownership? i've seen alot of cars and spoke to owners and it seems strange that most people who have had to replace the clutch have had it go within the first few months (even sooner for some) of ownership, now some of this could be down to the enthusiasm of the new owner but like most its the fingers that have gone, i wonder if this is more down to the change in leg lenght and the amount that the clutch pedal is pushed down, i'm sure that i have read some where that by adjusting the lenght of the pedal travel can put to much pressure on the fingers.

did you adjust the pedal travel or where a lot taller than the previous owner?
