    Nope - had it done got an OE equivalent Sachs. Also replaced g/b oil with fully synth.

    And now t'is sweet as a dream - smooth as a babies bottom. Cannot hear the engine running at idle, and the pedal is now soooo light. Lots of crap and crud in there apparently. Red lined it for the first time in 18 months and loved it. No more shudder, no more vibration, no more gear crunching. wooo hoo.

    Was deffo the original in there - and it had two broken springs (out of three) hence the vibration and horrible noises. Still not bad for 215k on the clock. Hoped to get ARB bushes changed at the same time but they looked at them and said they were solid as little rocks so no worries. Left them in.

    Pedro - I am not sure how much difference the R clutch would have made tbh - I never had any issue with the standard T5 one. If I get another 200k out of it I will be happy ;>))

    i have heard its a good upgrade to do if your changing your clutch anyway. I was going to go that way but got to for a S60R clutch to fit the Crocus box now, still going to use a single mass flywheel tho
