Need a new release on the clutch so gonna get it all changed. Working too much so looked at mr clutch and surprised it is only £157 with everything or £100 labour if I wante a different clutch.

I would go for an ap organic in case you decide to up the power, if not a standard for one will do the job at that power

If you have no plans to go for more power then yes thats fine, or as Milesy says an AP Organic CP2000-8 would be the next step IMO, good for about 220bhp.

Don't know what to do. Guessing mr clutch will use a repro shite clutch? But offer warranty or just buy my own but no warranty?

Oh I would normally as I done my focus twice and that's much longer but I can't be bothered with the wet and cold days and normally just do it on the road. Going up north on my day off to skydive so might just die.. Pointless paying out for the clutch yet and hope its holds the 4 hour drive lol

DON'T GET THE MR CLUTCH PART. They are shit, warranty or not. I had one in a nova (which was also shit) back in the day. As everyone else said at 155bhp get a standard ford or luk clutch.

Well the bloke called me back to say the problem was the metal around the shaft was grounded down and the release was mashed. Went to have a look and this is what it looks like. Basically he said he can't get it done tomoz as he will have to wait for a oversized bearing and sleeve and can't get it from anywhere but one place at an extra £50
