yeah cant be the way i drive!! im steady driver (stroy behind this) think it must have something to do witht the fact that the gear linkage broke last year and had to drive 40 miles in 4th gear and had to ride the clutch!! also could be were i got stuck in snow on berk brow and was stood spinning wheels for 1 hour trying to get up!!!

a clutch should last for ages when driven properly therefore it is down to the individual driving style be it fast or slow
