Unhappy XR8 5speed Clutch Replacement???????????

What do'ya know..........Ford dropped out the box to check the clutch with one week of warranty left & would you believe, there telling me the gearbox selection & high point on the clutch was DUE TO WEAR!!! Sure it was, what else would they tell me - hear you go matey hears a new clutch on us, replaced under warranty - FAT CHANCE. Anyway all, I need recomendations for a reliable, good quallity, reasonably priced clutch and associated parts.
I baby this vehicle (most of the time) so a high performance one is probably not necessary. All your feedback appreciated, cheers.

How long have you owned the car and how many k's does it have on it?
Most of the time a clutch will never be covered by warranty unless in the case of an explsoive failure, eg Typhoon.
If its just old, then you have no chance. Clutches are a consumable item.

PBR and daikin (spelling?) are the most commonly used clutches around here I think.
