(or Dutch). I'm not adverse to learning to tinker with my own car, but I am adverse to doing it in the current temperatures in the UK with no indoors facility to do it in. Only reason I want to buy it myself is to potentially avoid the potentially ridiculous prices charged in garages for parts in general.On Euro car parts, there's a Nova clutch kit for £21.33 and a Boge/Sachs for £56.88, of which the latter is supposedly made by the original manufacturer of 480 clutches, but is not a genuine part
On eBay for sale right now is a Borg and Beck clutch plate for the 480 and I was wondering if that is something anyone would consider getting, aside from the fact that it's just the plate and I would need some more bits and bobs? The whole clutch would be available from BuyPartsBy for £49.65. I'm not looking to turn my car into a high performance sort of anything, I just want a clutch that will last me as long as mechanically possible for (obviously) the lowest reasonable price. In other words, I'd like the best life-expectancy/price ratio (not necessarily the cheapest part). Any recommendations, including "save yourself the hassle and just let the garage pick the damn thing for you"?
