97 1.4 clutch wear in general - zookeeper
is there any way of knowing how much clutch you have left? pedal travel (bite) or is it just luck taking into factors like how many miles the car has done , would 70k be about normal for a medium car ? i once saw a car program that suggested putting the car in 4th or 5th gear with the hand brake on and dropping the clutch with a bit of welly and if the engine died the clutch was ok.... sounds a bit drastic when the potential seller is watching you?.. thanks
