   Im wanting to put a new clutch release bearing on car when i get my gearbox back as the one i have on could do with changing. I dont need a new clutch though as its only about 6-7k old. I seen clutch release bearings on ebay at about £17 but unsure if any good or not.

   As said above don't buy a cheap one. For the price difference it's not worth it as chances are it's made to alot lower standard.

   Thanks, where you buy just the release bearing from? As citroen and a parts place near me only sell clutch kit.

   Citroen usually only do sell them as kits Why not just put a clutch in while you there anyway? They arent much more expensive lol

   I know, worth pricing though. Only cost me £15 more for the kit than the bearing for some reason

    Well ive got a 1.3 rallye box on but all MA boxes are same so that should do the trick. Will have to get one ordered when i get paid.
