Me and my mates done a clutch in an escort GTI, it was totally shot, nice easy(ish) job to do, drove really nice afterwards, but for all the hastle it causes for saving about £30'ish i would advise taking it to scooby's garage where he has all the correct equipment and labour knowledge.
I can confirm that the trip would be worth it, i have been to the garage many times in the past and have never had any bad work, infact you could go as far as saying i have a 100% pleased rate from his garage, and the prices are reasonable.
