I've just put it in their web catalogue and it shows up. Did you do an article direct search on that number and did you put the number in correct? (Now if you went to "http://www.valeoclutches.com/" then you made the schoolboy error of trying to search a North American parts catalogue )

Pictures show cover, friction plate and release bearing. Interesting that the picture of the friction plate has "Sachs" stamped on the linings!

Yes, evidently I was on the American site. Thanks, I see the item now, but no price. I guess a phone call is the only route to find out this top secret information.

YMMV, it's all down to the local stockist. Ring your local motor factors / GSF / ECP and ask for a Valeo clutch by name. Don't be fobbed off with alternatives if you don't want them. Just expect it to be (off the top of my head) £150+

There are a number of interesting Technical Service Bulletins on the Valeo Service site, including a couple on heavy clutches. http://www.valeoservice.com/html/united ... CCE8585BCA
