Hello all,
We have an N-B Arto on a 2007 Ducato base - it's the 3.0 litre 160bhp and has done 28000 miles.
We've had it for about a year and the biting point of the clutch has always been pretty high.
We had once incident early on when I mucked up reversing uphill - over revving and causing a good few seconds of clutch burn.
Since then I've noticed that there is slight clutch slip when if you try to accelerate hard when in too high a gear. Obviously that's something that I'm trying to make sure I don't do!
The only other issue I noticed was that there was some stuttery roll-back off our ramps when parked in 1st and I took the handbrake off to rotate the driver seat. But I've heard that can be normal?
I don't want to get stuck away from home with a catastrophic clutch failure - but also don't want to do this job before I have to.
Do you think I need to do this imminently or could I safely nurse the clutch along for a while?
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Andy
