UPDATES:
Over last weekend my clutch got to the point where even at half throttle on boost, it would happily slip. Got on the dog and bone monday morning and ordered a new LUK clutch.
Best thing was is that the pressure plate had "Sachs" stamped into it, with an LUK friction plate:
[attachment=19338]
[attachment=19339]
[attachment=19340]
Managed to get my old clutch out in about an hour and a half, taking my time, trying not to break anything. Got to my old clutch and wow, what a state...
Flywheel was a bit blued with some shiney patches, but no way near as bad as the pressure plate. The friction plate was showing signs of slip (worn down edges) and that it's probably been in there a good while and the TD04 isn't doing it any good...

I didn't notice until afterwards that the actual holders for the springs had snapped so you could move the springs with your fingers. Covered in dust and all the usual.
Fitted the new clutch and as the release bearing came as far of the pressure plate and couldn't be separated, i had to slip the fork onto the release bearing. Did it first time, not to mention there's a little black rectangular bung that sits on top of the gearbox housing. Remove this and you can see perfectly inside with a light. Lined up the arm and release bearing, slotted gearbox straight on. Didn't realise how bad my clutch was before. Pedal after was light, i mean, seriously light. Biting point was about half the way up.
Another thing i'm not sure about is bedding the clutch in. Some people reckon i should, others reckon i don't need to? Anyone shed any light on this? Cheers.
