Where's the best place to get a new 1.8 16v clutch from (I assume I will need a kit (so clutch, bearing, plate).

How much roughly should I look to pay please? (As this is looking like my second clutch ratchet/cable in 6 months so possible that my clutch is on the way out (pure guess here).

TRANSMECH n/a 641745161 CLUTCH KIT CLUTCH KIT

That's from ECP. Is that the clutch + plate + bearing though ?

Anything else I need, and is it actually any good?

Try looking on BBPT website. I've heard the bad press about them, but at the end of the day they only supply parts now.

£175 for the 'uprated' clutch on there. I really don't see the need for a 250lb of torque clutch on a tuned williams engine let alone a valver engine.

Just after a standard clutch really to keep costs down, as I still have to get new engine mounts and likely clutch cable and pedal again :(
