Last week i was given company car which had been a previous employees car there is 33k on the clock. Yesterday after me adding about 500 miles mostly motorway the clutch burnt out. Could i be to blame or is it something that as happened over time and yesterday was breaking point. (The front two tyres are almost illegal)
I presume it is a modern diesel engine. They do require the clutch to be slipped slightly or they can stall when setting off but some people get a bit carried away with the slipping.
I have seen them done in by particularly bad drivers at as little as 10k - but as derek rightly says it is nothing to do with you unless you spent 500 miles hill starting with a caravan in tow!
