I've always missed these stonking deals that crop up on Amazon from time to time for 82p clutch kits. Now I need one and have 82p to spend and no deals are to be found! Did anyone buy one on these deals that they no longer need? Quite happy to pay more than 82p but sadly don't have the ackers to spare for the £430 kits for a while. |

82p for a clutch kit? I'm not sure I believe you. |

I keep looking, but the best I've found so far was a pair of rear discs for £3.00 - but after I'd already bought some. I think one or two guys here followed my link and got themselves a minor bargain, but I missed the Billies and the clutch deal ... ![]() |

I thought I wouldn't need a clutch on my 95k mile car. Pfft, the centre piece is rotten from what the garage are telling me so need a clutch to stop the issues i'm having. Where is the cheapest/best clutch kit to buy? Is it best to allow a company to fit their own sourced clutch kit or try to get a cheap one and ask them to fit it? |

It doesn't seem like there are that many products available, hence the expense. Looks like just the Porsche OEM product, Sachs and Valeo. |

Have you tried EuroCarparts? Ok, they arent going to have one for 87p, but you can find online discount vouchers for ECP. R |

I have tried that and sadly neither they or GSF show any options. |

Call them up. They sell more stuff than is on their website. I used to have a number for their Porsche department at head office but have lost it, but I am sure that if you call their regular number and ask for their Porsche team you'll get the same people. Their number is 0203 474 0500. ETA: Or call Max Schenker at Frazerpart. I seem to remember that he was the cheapest when I bought a clutch for my S2 and his service is the best out there. His number is 0151 644 6433. Oli. |

That's great advice, thanks, will do both. |

Call Max first. I should have suggested him before suggesting ECP. His service is better and I believe in small business. And he's a nice guy, and he knows his Porsches very well! Oli. |
