Technical Best replacement Clutch kit

[fiatpunt0]

Punto Multijet 1.3. Is there any difference in make when choosing a clutch kit, surely in this day and age they are all made to the same quality. Has anyone got experience of using a replacement cheap clutch kit, which is the best to go for ?

UPDATE rung EUROPARTS - they advise their own brand Transmech clutch kits are NOT O.E & not made to the same quality as O.E so as in this day and age it takes hours to fit and replace unlike the good old days on my Vauxhall Cavalier I would avoid as cheap is cheap for a reason. Hope this helps others thinking about saving a few quid, very naughty in my opinion for companies to make such inferior quality clutches as they should all be designed to last at least 50,000 miles.

Beat quality you can get no point saving £40 on the part when you paying £200-3000 ect of fitting for it

Valeo or Luk tend to be the ones to go for.
