My Brother and I did my cable last Sunday, I can't really comment on how long it should take, all I can say is next time it will be MUCH quicker, and hopefully I will not suffer so much with sunburn. 
All I can say is it was well worth it, as I now have a very smooth clutch action.

Lifespans difficult to say can be 10k can be 300k.
Only use the Renault official ones not worth using cheaper usless copy cat parts.
Depends how there used, abused and no toe heal them don't last long 30k they can die use in traffic kills them abuse though with toe heal etc they last ages.
Bit quicker as there more space.

Forgot to say, the clutch cable design seems to have changed from the one I took off my 182.
It now has two large, heavy weights on the cable at the gearbox end, I suspect these weights surpress any vibration along the cable.

RS's do have a heavy clutch anyway compared to some cars, does make your leg ache in heavy traffic.

Hairy muff, not much else that comes close for the money though unless you're going down a different route of car or something older.
To be fair though, it's only going to depreciate so if you want something else then theres no point sitting on it.... So to speak
