I think I'm a fairly sensitive driver, so when my Focus came back from
the dealer with a new clutch and front discs (and a very large bill) I
was surprised; it's done less than 80k km/50k miles from new. It
had gone in because it was reluctant to start from cold, and the
brakes were noisy. The pads seem to be lasting about 18k km/11k
miles. So, two questions:
Is that normal clutch, pad and disc life?
I was billed a total of 6.2 hours for the work, and just under 1000
euros (700 quid) for the parts (clutch, flywheel, cylinder, discs,
pads, consumables, etc) plus VAT. Is that sensible, or did they see
me coming?
