Previously I used BS Motors for a clutch change on a 75 some years ago. My cars just do not suffer from premature failure of clutch components etc. I put this down to the expertise/experience and the care taken during fitting by the aforementioned specialists.

I would go further and make the recommendation only to use clutch parts recommended by the specialists.

I take the point about DIY, but would also categorize such people between specialists/experts and not so!

I think I can take the last line as a complement as I changed my own clutch 3 or 4 years ago. Not a job I would like to do again but probably would once I get over the sick feeling.
