Well I've finally purchased a new clutch kit from Honda as mine is starting to struggle (standard one since new..).
Managed to get a 15% discount (for being a loyal customer ) and it cost £186 inc VAT so not too shabby.
As this is my first car which has had a new clutch, do I need to bed it in for a certain number of miles?
Thanks in advance !

I had a new one fitted to the ibiza a few weeks ago. Took it fairly easy for the first 200 or so miles. Was doing 70 mile runs anyway so wasnt using clutch much anyway

You have to keep it out of v-tec for at least a week (or 100 miles)
