    cheaps not always best though especially when the longevity of your engine is at stake!

    I'm near Gatwick airport.

    Also, you'll find that people like me and mandyslover wont fit parts you supply. This is purely for warranty purposes, we both supply Gates kits which are very well known and faultless. Fitting cheap parts is certainly false economy. How many clutches i've fitted and a week later they come back slipping or juddering because the quality is crap.
