Technical Clutch for GP advice?

[thomas1brad]

My clutch on my 1.2 gp is pretty much at the end of its life so I'm going to have to get a new one. I've looked up the prices for clutch kits and they are about £60. I just want to know if anyone can give me any advice where the best place to buy a clutch from and also how much one might cost to get fitted, I don't want to get a rubbish knock off that will break after a month, thanks

In my experience the labour charge is much more than the cost of the part, so it makes sense to buy the best part you can. If you buy it from a fiat dealer you know its going to be as good as it gets. That said, brands like Luk make the clutches for the car manufacturers in the first place so should be fine (identical even). Just make sure it comes from a reputable source, most of ebay is knock off in my experience.
