Hi everyone

Some of the LM62 owners will be aware already but there are a couple of instances of clutch failures on manual Plus Fours. Friend of mine ended up buying the grey plus four with the white leather (see other thread) and only after a few hundred miles the clutch pedal went long. One of the LM62 (CX) owners has also suffered a clutch failure - looks like the same part - the rod (or piston?) that is attached to the clutch pedal and passes through the bulkhead.

I have a long road trip planned and my clutch is already squeaking - feeeling a bit nervous about that so I thought maybe I'd buy the part to carry. It seems the LHD version may be Valeio part 2113615.

Question:
- has anyone else had a failure? If so which part
- does anyone know the part number for RHD cars, I can't find it
- would a roadside replacement also require the clutch to be adjusted or is it essentially a straigh and simple swap of a mechanical arm

So many questions - sorry!

Thanks in advance for any input - I'm going to try to get the car looked at before I go away but planning for the worst here

Had the clutch master cylinder replaced after it was squeaking. (Mar '22 car) it used to squeak after around 200 miles of driving. sounded like an old wooden door closing . mileage was around the 13000 mile mark when it started. replaced around 15000. car now nearly 21k & been ok.

Just an update for anyone interested. My friends Plus Four has been diagnosed with a leaking master cylinder and that is being replaced under warranty. Also FYI without asking they are replacing the petrol cap again under warranty.

Hi - for completness update on mine. Clutch was squeaking like mad but some lube on the springs by the dealer sorted it. I did ask for the replacement petrol cap but apparently the LM62 is slightly different to the PLus Four so they couldn't supply one at this time.
