Just back from 3,500 mile euro trip, the first since fitting a Clutch Fix clutch. Found it much easier on the left knee as it seems lighter than the original.

Assuming it’s a Puma, Opie recomended the Motul Specific 913D 5w30. That’s what I always use. Full synth from a good oil company. Not the cheapest though. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Local independent motor factor is where I go to support local business! Just watch out for the supermarket deals as theirs are only 4 litres and everyone else is 5L! Nothing wrong with Comma X-tech 5/30 it’s what most of the trade use.

I just use the Comma X-tech. It meets the Ford specs. (Actually I use comma products for everything)
NickMc I go a step further, Comma make/blend their oils not far from me, so I’m supporting a local business |

I think it’s sad that so many independent parts places are disappearing with GSF and especially Eurocar crap flooding the market with cheap junk and poor service- Britpart of the car world Even got caught selling counterfeit LUK clutches
I’ve been using comma oil for as long as I remember and never had a problem with it Sometimes I think oil is a bit like designer labels for people. Granville oil however, no thank you Millers Oil is good, but don’t find it as competitive on price. If you’re going to service your own regularly look into asking your local factors for deals on 20/25L drums?! Oh and as far a standard clutches and components go LUK is the brand off the shelf I tend to use, especially on my own cars, but the spigot roller bearing of youre doing te clutch too as the rollers always seem to fall out of them. |

Or just get another genuine clutch. I mean how many more miles do you want out of a clutch? |

Thanks all - was just canvasing opinion really - will go genuine on the clutch I think - never had to replace one on any of my vehicles so just testing the water!
Try to shop locally whenever possible but my nearest vehicle spares / parts shop is at least 30 mins drive away - someone wold make a killing if the set one up in my area! Sometimes online shopping is the only way. |
