    to be honest mate, i work at a garage that supplys a lifetime warranty clutch, ya pay the price of a clutch replacement plus 15quid extra it is then covered for life, even if you burn it out they still pay up, one of me customers is on to her 7th clutch an she aint paid a penny, its throught QH really good like and worth every penny

    7th Clutch.. Sounds quality lol

    Good Deal but a valeo will last 100k + miles if driven proper and taking the risk with a cheaper set up means if the clutch goes you could be stranded somewhere. Not saying the valeo one couldnt do this also they just have a far better name and seem to have such small known faults going wrong with them.

    Valeo kit on mine and i choose that kit for this reason

    thats cool bud, the customer with the 7th clutch keeps burning them out as she rides the clutch

    i think my saxo has a cheap clutch in an has lasted 40,000miles so far

    Euro CP were doing 25% off internet buys until tonight so could've got a valeo clutch kit on there for around just shy of 85 inc. postage, shame the offers ended now, back up to £111

    Black diamond stage 2 kevlar clutch, roughly around the £200 mark, withstands more heat and torque. Here's a review http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motors...ad-competition
