General Clutch arm woes/ anyone breaking an MPI?

[Ouby]

Breakdown Service 'bodged' a temp clutch cable to get me home. Using a knackered or imperial nut! meant it all fell apart & half the gubbings are now missing. Anyone got a photo of what should be fitted & in what order, manual doesn't show ALL the parts & I can't find a decent photo.
Is anyone breaking a 2001 onwards Sei & can post the parts quickly?
Don't want a cheap clutch kit but AP comes in at £66, is the Transmech kit (£41) from eurocarparts any good?

download the sei technical manual from downloads, it has diagrams of just about every single part of the car, although it takes a while to get used to navigating it

See what Big Mick at eurocarcare has. He'll know the clutch release bits, too.

Blu tech manual download ends up as a cross between ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics & Swahili. Does this give any more info than my Workshop Manual disc?

Fingers: PM sent, got mixed up between eurocaparts (Transmech) & eurocarcare (Valeo).

try downloading again, works fine for me. Not seen a sei workshop manual disc but if its like my old stilo one then yes, its alot more detailed than the disc..

Just had quick browse on mine and its all there with diagrams how it goes together. I installed it a while ago but from memory you gotta make sure you got all parts dowloaded before unzipping it or it won't work. I do however have a famously bad memory

If funds allow I would go AP.

AP.

LUK and cheap ones. Release bearing will go throught the pressure plate quite quick.

It does depend on which disk you got.

The one on the forum is the one I used to sell (working on an improved version!). Huge thing.

Depending on your browser, it's either save link as or save target as. Should download as a .zip file which you need to decompress into a series of pdfs.

I'm avoiding LUK -I've seen the horrible photo's of the fingers (no, not that one ). I wondered about the Transmech kit.
Hoping the clutch replacement can wait untill the Spring & the warmer weather! The 1.4 8v was fitted in Jan 2010 & the clutch has been fine so far. The clutch cable however has done 85k & I tend to ride it, so it's no surprise it let go.
Main priority now is to find the parts for the end of the clutch arm (so that it keeps the correct cable angle).
