I would suggest you contact actros who it was that announced andy's return to ask Andy Willi to get in touch with you again regarding this outstanding issue you have. Clearly there is a good line of communication between the two of them.

For what it's worth (and it might not be much) the National Clutch and LUK slave cylinder Andy fitted to my ZT-T on 11th of January 2015 is still working perfectly on my car with it having covered an additional 27,783 miles so far. I can only speak as I find.

Thank you. Feedback, very much in line with the Status. It is possible that the National clutch couldn’t withstand the 160map. It is the reason I had the clutch done as mine was perfectly good.
I was advised that it really wouldn’t cope with the map, so did it in preparation over the same weekend.
Did you also have yours mapped??
It’s also interesting to note differing feedback. One wrote ‘oh dear, I’d not fit a £35 National clutch’ others have clearly deemed them as poor quality and most seem to advocate Luk and Borg and beck.
Luk seem the most likely sensible component parts, as they make every bit of a clutch kit and are therefor the most compatible.
