This is my story.
I have a long history of trying to repair a 2000 model Ford Falcon XR6. A dog of a car, but its my collectors item
The clutch and gear box had recently been done by a supposedly reputed dealer. Due to work stuff I left the car standing for a year, got back into town, charged the battery and my clutch went again.
Took it into the dealer and they charged me the better part of R9000 to repair their clutch. They argued that because the car had been standing dead still for the last year, the clutch had been wearing out.
I asked how it was possible that the clutch could be wearing out when the car has been standing still (almost literally on bricks).
They responded saying that the clutch is always under pressure and when it stands still (i.e. the clutch is not depressed) then this creates additional pressure on the clutch and results in wear and tear.
Honestly I think this is BS. I mean how can the clutch be under strain if nobody is pushing the pedal?
Is this Ford dealer talking crap? Anyone out there?
