Probably need a new flywheel as well otherwise you'll be replacing the starter again soon.

[poppyabe]

if u do deicide to do clutch and flywheel do ur self a favour and convert to solid flywheel they are cheaper then dual mass replacment and no more agro

Hi yes some brown dust but not to much just thought that as it was out of the vehicle I would renew it - point taken about the flywheel replace with solid type - many thanks for all your comments guys.
