Hi All,

I'm another new PADer inspired by Martin's email.

I've hit my Co-operative overdraft with £103 today.

Just the usual for me to Halifax Clarity Card.

A payment has just reached them making my balance officially just under £3k (£2999.02) so that's my first target met!

What?? You drove your car to the point where the clutch was unusable? . It's not as if you don't get any warning that it's on its way out. I can just imagine you sitting there revving away and nothing happening.
Paul (veteran of three clutch changes down the years in various vehicles).
I find that it's best to avoid balancing a vehicle on clutch/accelerator as much as possible as that wears them much more quickly. I tend to use handbrake more. I had one vehicle that I took to 142,000 miles on the original clutch - when I sold it. Mind you, I did need the handbrake cable to be changed at one point. That might not have happened if I had balanced the clutch more but that probably would have meant a new clutch. I think using handbrake more is a good habit that has come from owning vans instead of cars in the last 20 years. Slipping the clutch isn't always so great in a van - especially if it has a heavy load (IMO of course).
