MG ZT-T CDTi Plus 135: Heavy clutch
I'm thinking of buying this car from a dealer. I took it for a test drive - it drove very well except that the clutch seemed very heavy, to the point that I would not buy it if, I intended to do a lot of town driving.
Have you heard of any problems with clutches, the action seemed smooth, the bite point was in the right place. The car had 70,000 on the clock, but the dealer could not show me much service history.

Clutches can become extremely heavy if the clutch release arm gets bent.
