Yeah told me the same thing but I decided to get it anyway at less than half the price of it brand new. It did indeed look near new when it arrived too.

Just need to get use to it I suppose, as I've always had a high biting clutch n noisy idle since I got the car 10months ago. now it bites low, car starts smoothly and isn't noisy with the clutch depressed.

Sounds like the advantages outweigh the disadvantageous to me .

Anyone reading this these kits are available on Amazon currently at £255 all except the csc is included so clutch plate / cover / smf / all bolts boxed as kit. Just google,,  valeo 835050 that's the kits part number
