clutch worn

The clutch on my 24 valve is worn. The gear change is stiff, some force is needed to change gear. I don't think it's clearing fully even with my foot right to floor and it crunches when selecting reverse.
The main reason for this post is for advice on where to buy the parts from.

There is company ACP (All Car Parts) on Ebay who are offering a three part clutch kit. What they call a Genuine Blue Print Clutch for £95.54 post free.
Surely that's too good to be true?

Has anyone out there had a clutch replaced recently?
What should I expect to pay?

Try bleeding the clutch first, sounds like to piston is releasing the trust bearing

There's also settings you can check on the clutch pedal. The actuator bar that runs from the pedal to the master cylinder can be adjusted out. It's a bit of a pain to get at, but worth a look before forking out for a new clutch.

Had mine done in August. Sutton Auto factors do the clutch for the probe still or at least my local one did but had to order it in.
I got mine from a shop in Notts called the valve shop they ordered it in the same day for £75
Guy at the garage who fitted it said it was a good brand too it cost £210 to fit

Thanks for that, I had thought £95 was too cheap to be any good obviously not. You labour price seems reasonable.

I was shocked with the price of the clutch itself. I think Sutton Auto Factors had a choice of about 3 one was 50 odd quid.
The labour was at a garage across from work. I made a point of saying how much for cash so dunno if that helped. 200 to do and a tenner for oil he said
