I've owned an 11 plate Micra for seven months which has been excellent small car, until now, when the clutch has failed at 24,000 miles. Is this common as I have had a clutch fail at 54,000 miles, which is expected, but not 24,000?. It's not that I ride the clutch and also try to use it as little as possible in heavy traffic.
Also I am a little concerned about the clutch being repaired on an extended warranty. The dealer states that this is a grey area, but the Nissan Cared 4 warranty states that I should only pay for the friction materials. I am a bit miffed as I could be forking out a considerable bill on Monday when the clutch is replaced if the dealer decides it's normal wear and tear and I have to pay the full amount, and I think this is unfair as the clutch has failes prematurely.
