Lewis which bit do you want me to explain? The £340 for the clutch you have bought off Martin still needs the £30 OE release bearing (hence why on my site it is listed as £370 for the clutch, as I include this ).

Spiky,

Go hydraulic if there's nothing else you do!

As soon as I have my car running, it's going straight to Martin's for the hydraulic conversion.
