There's actually no mile limit on breaking a new clutch in ive read up basically it shud be good to go as soon as its fitted mate. Think its just the case of getting used to the low bite and responsiveness of the new clutch again compared to the feel of the old one

Got the engine dropped in yesterday afternoon, went from Manchester to Preston, on the way back the car started to misfire, don't know if that's because of the spark plugs or whatnot maybe the coil pack as they usually cause misfires don't they, but there's no white smoke so I'm gonna take a guess it is that imo
