As titled really, clutch needs replacing, is there anything else advised to do at the same time?
I'm thinking gearbox oil (mt90?). Any other suggestions?
Genuine or decent quality release bearing :)
Some people like to replace the driveshaft seals too

Ensure flywheel is flat and smooth.
A light skim.

Got the clutch - release bearing comes as part of the kit. Thanks
As Jason suggested, inspect the flywheel. I seem to recall that you've been driving with a slipping clutch for some time, which will result in a glazed surface. That tends to make a new clutch a bit 'bouncy'.
If the budget doesn't run to removal and a very light skim, then break the glaze with some 250 grit wet&dry.

Thanks C. The lads in the garage I'm taking it to will look after me (Former pupil, and I've sent a load of work their way). I mentioned the flywheel, they'll look at it and see
Incidentally, can the flywheel 'deglaze' itself after continuous use once a new clutch is fitted??

Never seen it happen.
To be fair, it may have been slipping for a while, but I've only covered about 40 miles. I'll still get the lads to check it out though
Wish I had my "own boys" to do my car Justin, can you send a couple down south here! ;)

I'd love to Jane. Not sure they'd be pleased though, they like the East Midlands for some reason.

Usually the included hardware isn't the best, personal preference would be to bin the LUK part & get a genuine replacement ;)
Happy to be shot down.
But as far as I understand.
LUK are oem suppliers.

I thought it was AISIN.
Maybe that's the gearboxes.
Don't think it's Luk, They are great clutch kits

Will qualify my previous post.
Yes aisin will be stamped on it, but on closer inspection may reveal other names and part numbers as well.
