Any views on which one is best?

Also any pointers on any other spec I should be making to the Garage fitting the new clutch?

Regarding the DMF, the chap on the phone said he would just do a runout test on the DMF to check its performance, anything else he should be looking at?

The part that really makes the difference from a reliability/longevity perspective is the slave. I would be vary of which slave will be fitted with the B&B kit. If it is an Luk or AP one, perfect. Otherwise I would be concerned.

The shaft seal should also be inspected - I would have it replaced as a matter of course.

Personally, I have never seen the need to move away from Luk for the clutch kit.

As for the DMF, the lateral movement is also important. There is a video by Luk on Youtube that is worth watching as it covers all the key areas that should be checked.
