Father in Law's car done 2303 miles - clutch burnt out - 3 piece clutch kit replaced but that burnt out after driving 9 miles. Appreciate he can ride the clutch sometimes in traffic - but is it likely to be burnt out by his driving after only 9 miles?

Did they actually replace the whole clutch? Did they actually do any work at all?
If the orignal failure was due to a fault with the pressure plate and they only replaced the burned out drive plate the replacement drive place would also burn out although 9 miles does appear a little extreme....

I would hate to see the competition. ;-)

Are we subsidising the owners of 1960s Ferraris? There are 307,407 cars that are road tax exempt, that is their Tax Disc is issued free, as they are Historic Vehicles made before 1973.
At current tax rates of £130 for under 1549cc and £220 for over 1549cc for vehicles registered before 2001 that is between £39 Million to £ 67 Million that other road users are subsidising the owners of 1950s Rolls Royces and 1960s Aston Martins.... Read more
It might be vaguely near £3bn if the people they believe should pay it were actually paying it. It also might be sort of £3bn if the raising of taxes didn't influence behaviour. For instance how many high earners fled to Zurich when the tax came in?
Government has this hilarious tendancy to think 'lets bring in a higher tax' and then do the calculations to work out how much they'll get from all these people, no doubt the calculator told them £3bn in regard to the 50p rate but no calculator could've told them what those liable would do to avoid it. Government never realises every policy has a knock on effect to something else, like all that extra NHS 'investment' is now bankrupting the pensions bill because people live too long....
