My clutch Peugeot 2005 Autoquest 400
Reading through this thread and thought that I would post my experience.
Our clutch pedal was fairly high for quite a while, however there seemed to be no lack of traction and the van performed well.
However in my trawl around the forums I noticed a number of posts that took my notice concerning the lifetime of clutches on motorhomes, they seemed to indicate a high level of failure near 40,000 miles. The reason for this was stated that a motorhome pulls a lot more weight than a normal empty van in its daily use. I was intrigued.
I took my van to our local garage, Steve Mott in Braintree and asked them to check it out, mainly for my own piece of mind, we have towed a car for at least half of the time that we have owned the van. Their mechanic phoned me later and said that there does not seem to be a problem but agreed with me that the peddle was pretty high. I got a quote of 600 pounds anyway to change it which I thought was extremely good, so, as we use the van a lot in the Summer months, opted for them to do it.
They rang me during the change to confirm that I had made the right decision and indeed the clutch, in his words, were a,"Fag paper from the rivets," and indeed would have failed very soon.
I was well pleased with this outcome and its another reason why these forums are indeed a real godsend. total cost £633 which is also pleasing considering the time and cost of a clutch packing up whist out and about especially if abroad.
