    always best to go for valeo. its OEM and most people use them for uprated engines and have no problems.

    half the time its the release bearing thats shat itself

    I would get Valeo, it's all i ever fit.

    If you can make it down to Sussex i can do it for £190 all in.

    Rumour has it they do for around 500-1k miles, then its sorted. Like settling in sort of thing. Ive never had the issue but then again I dont often use LUK, I always use valeo where possible

    +1 we only fit LUK at work and never had any problems with them i got one in the vtr and was only 75 quid and as said they make a noise for the first 1k miles its more just a swushing noise.

    Bet it wasnt funny at the time my clutch was slipping, and bearing squeeling like a fucker, and I think I did about 1200 paranoid miles with it like that
