I used the cheapest crap euro car parts could get me (£50 for a 3 piece kit) and give it hell.

Never seen that before. The metal used for that pressure plate must be beyond Chinese!

Jesus! :shock: that has to be a manufactoring issue!, I have an ap racing clutch in mine and i give it loads of abuse :twisted: and its lasted me about me 12 month but you get what you pay for... but id say the reason why your clutch has gone is due a to a manufactoring fault ive never see that happen

That's got to be one of the worst clutch failures ever. The whole thing has just crumbled.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Borg and Beck are usually alright, they are OEM on a number of vehicles. Its probably a counterfeit but I would send that pic to B&B and ask them to investigate what went wrong - keep the evidence.

There was a court case years ago after Ford published an advert showing one of their clutches next to a (clearly identifiable) Borg and Beck; the advert said something about how much more superior an OEM clutch was to an aftermarket. B&B sued Ford for defamation or whatever and won easily as they supplied all of Ford's clutches.
