Depends what you're after...

If you spend hours trying not to drive in a straight line, then the cheapest second hand one you can get, owt else is just a waste.

If you want one to last more than 140k miles, then buy a Vauxhall one. Luk are somewhere in the middle... both on price and durability  :y

I bought a LUK friction plate and pressure plate for my 3.2 for £98 from BuyPartsBy. The full kit inc. slave cylinder and thrust bearing is about twice that. No-one seemed to sell just the friction plate.

Why would you replace just the plate, when the cover and bearing are also wear items? Especially as it's not a 45minute job like on a Capri or Cortina.

(That's 45minutes on your own, in the street with the car on ramps)
