I was looking at loads of different websites and sent off about 10 requests and they foned me up. The number is 01274 865333. They are based up north from me in Leeds/Bradford. They also fit clutches between £60-£80. Hope this helps anyone who is interested and lives that way.

SACHs clutch kit without a doubt, costs about £86 delivered from GSF, (sachs part number 3000.581.001 IIRC). They're smoother than the refurbed VW ones, Fact.

That website reverts me to the HMV site? :? The number for GSF is: 02089173800. It's a part you'll need to ring up about, as they don't keep it on the shelf apparently.
