   Make sure you get a new clutch plate rather than a reacon one as they last much longer.

   Valeo, Luk, Borg Beck do good clutchs basically spend at least £100 or there abouts.
   
   Makes me laugh, in a previous thread of yours saying lady owner ftw etc and we were saying how that isnt always a good thing:

   the one that came with the car was a euro car parts special it was 69.99. the last one i had on was a valeo clutch. so going to try a LUK one this time its never been the clutch plate thats gone always been the release bearing.
