Hi Guys
It looks like I need to replace my Clutch Slave Cylinder. It or a pipe around it seems to be leaking badly. (2.2 Dti on an 03 plate)

So I was thinking is it worth replacing the clutch at the same time as I have the gearbox off. (Done 160,000m) The clutch grip is good, but I can't afford to leave the car of the road if I find it is low once I've got it stripped down. I need the car to make a living.

I've been quoted £500  for a replacement clutch and cylinder, fitted. It was only £350 a couple of year ago for my 2 Ltr.

I've decided to do it myself, next weekend. But I'm not sure what exactly to order. I know I need a Clutch plate, Pressure plate and Slave cylinder.

But do I need a thrust bearing also or does that normally come with the Slave cylinder. :-/

I was looking at these on fleebay.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

I would get the kit from www.buypartsby.co.uk they sell Luc clutch lits at a good price all you need to source then is the slave cylinder.

Are they good clutches? Whats delivery like?

I'm doing a bit of towing now. So I need one that will do the business

I'm still not sure if the Thrust or Release bearing comes with the slave cylinder? and the pipes? :-/ Andy B have you gone out on the beer? With it being Saturday Night:

I'm sure you will know the answer

Sorry Andy B

I've figured it out now. You are referring to my previous topic. 

Know what you saying now. The bearing does come with the Slave Cylinder I'm glad your with it!

Is it nearly Easter yet, where's my swimming costume

The buypartsby LUK clutches are the same make as the originals and will be identical to the one you take out.

They're pretty good.

Delivery is a couple of days I think. I've used buypartsby a few times and they've been very good.

I'd replace the friction plate, pressure plate and slave cylinder. If the cylinder is leaking the plates will probably be contaminated, and at 160k miles the old clutch is probably on its way out.

The LUK kits often come with or without the slave cylinder depending on which kit you order.

The job is fairly straightforward. Disconnecting the gearstick is probably the most fiddly part.

Very good clutch kits as recommended by the all knowing one and delivery is about 2 to 3 days

So I'll get the slave from another supplier

Does this look okay, do all omegas have the same slave?
