Review on Valeo 52001203 OEM Clutch Kit - The Ultimate Replacement Solution by Reginald Ward

This is exactly the same clutch as factory supplied for the 2nd generation Mini Cooper with n12 1.6 liter engine. This is the same clutch referred to by the BMW Mini part number 21 20 7 572 842. I bought it on sale at a much lower price and it was delivered to my home about 30 minutes after I removed the old clutch. These cars come with a factory VALEO clutch and fit my 2008 Cooper Clubman (non-S) perfectly. Much better price and much faster shipping from Amazon. You can avoid price gouging at BMW by buying Valeo 52001203 because it is 100% the same item, same brand and everything the same. All that was missing were the pressure plate screws, but the release bearing, pressure plate, clutch disc and two alignment tools. Great article.
