Sorry, Search is down again.

Drove the car for the 1st time in a week today, and the clutch immediately felt weird. It doesn't slip per se, but it definitely doesn't bite as hard as it did, and needs more gas than usual to get going.
Bit disappointed clutch is on way out at just £21k miles, but I admit to treating it pretty harshly...

Anyway, work will be done by and Indy, and I guess I can save some £££ by sourcing my own parts? Does anyone know what I need exactly, and where to get everything for a good price?
Any aftermarket alternatives out there that will improve wear resistance?
It's an 06 4.3 by the way.

Central London!
I'll get the work done by Nick Mee, I think it's the easiest/most convenient option. Just need to source the parts I guess.

Unless Bamford Rose comes back with an unbeatable offer!

Haven't called Nick Mee yet.

I changed my pads last month and I saved about 50% on parts by ordering online!
