H5 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Do you have a list of the parts that you've had to have replaced in that time?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350doc Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yes: Clutch plate and cover: 4 (1st 2 went incredibly quickly, current standard one is on 28k) Flywheel: 1 Brake pads: standard fronts replaced around every 18k, rears around every 36k; moved over to Ferodo DS2500, front lasted 27k; rears still going (on 28 at the moment, with plenty of life left) Brake discs: 1 full set at c.60k Driver's seatbelt *1 Passenger window motor, regulator and door card *1 I think that's about right; i'll go through all the receipts at c. 100k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350doc Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 97k? Is that the highest in the UK? I think we should have a 100k party! I think someone may have overtaken me (commutes from London to Cardiff), but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad at all given the mileage though. Why a new door card though?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Welcome to the site!!! You could be right! My passenger window motor has gone and the cheapest quote I have got it £320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad at all given the mileage though. Why a new door card though?? Yes; but the clutches are quite expensive too. TBH the last clutch I have had (when the flywheel was replaced at the same time) is the only one which has ever felt normal (it is a standard Nissan clutch and standard flywheel; has lasted 28,000 miles so far), and has lasted a long time, so I can't help wondering if something was wrong with the setup. FYI the last clutch I have had has been used at the Nurburgring (*4), Silverstone and Millbrook; none of the others had; they mostly had motorway miles! The door card (£500) got replaced as I broke some clips on it trying to mend the window motor! Hello Sharpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
