How has my DMF lasted so long?
You write often about how DMFs don't last, and are expensive to replace.

My Alhambra has now done 127,000 miles with (so far) no clutch or DMF problems.

Is it because A) I'm lucky B) I am a super smooth driver(!) C) the type of driving - I live in the country - virtually no stop/start of commuting.
