A clutch can burn on a car with 10 miles on it, if it is mistreated!

Unless the clutch slips when the pedal is fully realeased, I would be
inclined to agree with your dealer. The clutch will only burn when it
is allowed to slip - if you were creeping along in traffic by holding
revs and 'riding' the clutch then it would be no surprise if it burnt.

As for replacing the clutch - is there any problem now when driving
normally? If not, why should it be replaced?

Ummm, Peter? You're replying to a long-dead year-and-a-half old thread.
