   Hi guys
   I Now know what clutch im getting and im getting a helix clutch. But when shopping for one they either say for late models or early models.
   now this is where is gets confusing because my car is an 03 reg vts and so is my gearbox but the engine is a 04reg xsara VTS block.
   
   so what one will i need a early or late model clutch?

   if you have a quick look at your fly wheel where the pressure plate bolts onto the fly you will either see that the 6 bolts are evenly spaced(late syle) or that there are 3 groups of 2 bolts(early style)
   
   i hope this helps
   
   edit:
   an example of on early style(note the bolts are 3 sets of two bolts)

   I told you this on facebook!? It's the difference in engine mounts I wasn't sure about.
   Also, be careful when asking people advise on your engine. It's an '04 Xsara engine, with a Saxo Vts crank, an early style flywheel off a different Vts, the mounts and other bits are off my '98 Vts and most everything else is very custom.
   Be easy to get caught out

   Yeah lol,
   Another quick thing, it's not a Xsara Vts engine, that's a 2.0 16v, your engine is out of a humble 1.6 16v 110hp Xsara, a tu5jp4 (nfu) engine

    I think it will be the new type engine, the old ones are for s1 106 engines, if you but a picture up I could tell you better.
