Hi Peter,
I would think it should be readily available in Europe as I believe it is
manufactured in Germany. I have attached a conversation to the bottom of
this email that I had with Paul from Dial a Clutch. Also check the web
sites below for more info. Regarding Mike Smith and his RepSet on
EBay......something didn't feel right to me.

Good luck and please let us all know how you made out with your clutch.

This clutch set includes a new clutch disc, pressure plate, release
bearing,
pilot bearing(if required) and a clutch alignment. The cover and disc are
made by LuK. If you want to purchase this, let me know. I'll email you a
