Full clutch kit - any good suppliers?

Post by James Riley » Tue Dec 04, 2007 9:38 pm

I think I want to replace my clutch completely, its been sticking and has damaged the slave cyclinder, which I have a replacement for, bu the cluch has been playing up for a while so rather than just replace the cylinder with a dodgy stiff clutch, I think just bite the bullet and get it all done the rest of the car is near mint IMO and I think it deserves it.

So question is, what kit do I need and can anyone advise who is a good supplier - have seen on www.carparts-direct.co.uk for £125 ish

Is this good and does anyone have experience of them, or an alternate supplier, or anywhere that will supply and fit clutch kit for me ? any idea of cost etc.

I've been banging on about getting this done for ages, but need to get sorted as I am feeling really sorry for the Morris now as its been sat and I hate letting cars sit useless.

I want it done before christmas ideally.

Cheers guys.

You can get them from your local motor factors exchange for around £75. Fitting at a decent garage could cost about £150. Check eBay you might get the clutch cheaper!

Just thought I'd update this, I got a full clutch kit on ebay for £27 - it's arrived and is just as it should be and is a BorgBeck.

Personally I think that was a bargain.

Yeah, I got a clutch disc, plate and bearing (3 piece kit)

I'm delighted with it, all that remains now is to get someone to fit it of course (although found decent bloke just on the next street with a small garage) he just did our metro for MOT.

Will uodate when the old girl is back in running order.
