Have not long brought a hdi (90hp) with stage 1 remap, decat, de egr. And the clutch is already slipping!!! What clutch would you recomend me to get and from wheredont want to spend massive amount if possible. And one more question is if i get rid of the middle box would i gain or lose power? If gain where can i get one to? Not sure what stage remap i have as i brought it like it all i know is its a bently uk remap. Thanks guys

just a standard vealo one will hold it fine, my local motor factors sell them at £100ish, other than that your talking £200-500 on a uprated one, then it could be heavy, juddering etc etc

get the Valeo . . . . .they might give you another clutch but they won't pay for the labour of fitting it again . .

Another vote for the valeo (unless you're planning on going for big power), you can get them from most decent motor factors.
Keep the mid and get rid of the back-box instead, mid-box is a very minor restriction compared to the backbox. Never heard of bently uk, no idea what their remaps are like.

GSF do a 'Premium clutch' for £110 for the HDi. I'd phone up and ask if thats a Valeo tbh. Plus a guy at Norwich GSF told me something useful - he said they have a price...and they have a 'base' price that they can go down to on expensive items. I can't guarantee all the branches would be as willing to drop prices though.
