Some very good points there Dave.

With my car it is entirely down to my own driving. I totally fried the last clutch. Over heated it and it melted which meant that it had to be changed and the current one is not brilliant.

I agree with the tyres on the The P-zeros are crappy and should be changed... but obviously this is an expensive option to keep replacing top class tyres... but I always have Good Year tyres put onto my Focus as they are brilliant and do a great job... unfortunatley don't last too long... but I know i'd have been into a million trees, through many hedges and probably down some ditches is I had chosen crappy tyres.
