Hi all, I'm replacing my clutch this weekend, which is the best clutch kit to buy from motor factors???

is they any other little jobs that are good to get out of the way while the van is in bits??

Hi Stuart....Good things have been said about LUK clutch kits....It's what my repairer fitted to mine and it's fine.
On the Berlingo it's not an area you want to scrimp on as it's a pig of a job!

Hello Stuart welcome to the forum good to have you with us  Check the gear box and engine mountain's are tight and earth strap's are in good condition

LUK, Valeo, go with the good brands. Just put an LUK in mine as that was the best they had at euro car parts.

Is there anything specific that makes it difficult?

I've not done the Berlingo clutch but I would say that most front wheel drive cars are a pain because of the lack of space under the bonnet.

Don't forget to lube the flywheel bush.

Also purchase a bearing guide tube, and a clutch fork, both parts will only be about £20, Valeo clutch kits come with a bulletin explaining that these should be changed, it is well worth the extra cash.
