Yep, I do (and what of it Rickaaaay ) it's called mechanical sympathy

Other things included:

NOT braking hard to a standstill with pedal still down when you've stopped, NOT resting my hand on the gearshift whilst driving along, NOT riding the clutch, gently warming the car up (and down again at the end of journey) - all of which are much nicer to the components involved and result in improved life of the components
