Don't like to brag but my 405 diesel has done 157,000 miles on the original clutch.
It feels like it has lots of life left in it still.
What is the average life expectancy?

Dunno, but my old Volvo did 230,000 on first clutch. Second clutch was still fine when I got rid of the car at 350,000. I hope I can expect as much as you from my 205 D and my Cit ZX 1.9 D.

I owned a 405 which was used everyday for my work etc. It then pulled a caravan for weekend trips.. For 2-3 weeks of the year it took us + caravan to places like Switzerland, S.France, Bavaria,etc. Friends would say you`d wreck the clutch. When I sold the car it had clocked 155,000 miles - same clutch!! Chris
