My clutch is acting up, as the seller warned me it would. So even from before buying, I've been looking into replacing it. Thing to remember here for anyone making recommendations, is I'm no car mechanic by any stretch of the imagination and I would go to a garage to have it fitted, so please keep it in English

(or Dutch). I'm not adverse to learning to tinker with my own car, but I
am adverse to doing it in the current temperatures in the UK with no indoors facility to do it in. Only reason I want to buy it myself is to potentially avoid the potentially ridiculous prices charged in garages for parts in general.
On Euro car parts, there's a Nova clutch kit for £21.33 and a Boge/Sachs for £56.88, of which the latter is supposedly made by the original manufacturer of 480 clutches, but is not a genuine part

On eBay for sale right now is a Borg and Beck clutch plate for the 480 and I was wondering if that is something anyone would consider getting, aside from the fact that it's just the plate and I would need some more bits and bobs? The whole clutch would be available from BuyPartsBy for £49.65. I'm not looking to turn my car into a high performance sort of anything, I just want a clutch that will last me as long as mechanically possible for (obviously) the lowest reasonable price. In other words, I'd like the best life-expectancy/price ratio (not necessarily the cheapest part). Any recommendations, including "save yourself the hassle and just let the garage pick the damn thing for you"?
