Big lumps of metals and spanners. Including servicing and fluids.

Get a new friction disc by itself if you are trying to save money but a full kit isn't much normally for our vans

CarParts4Less are the online only 'sister' company to Euro Car Parts.....just make sure you order the correct one.
SACH clutches were the original make fitted by Volkswagen...you can't get better.
Clutch plate only (if you are doing this on a tight budget) but otherwise fit a kit (pressure plate/friction plate & release bearing)
You should also seriously consider fitting a new spigot shaft bearing (in the end of the crank shaft, center of flywheel) as these wear.
And
The small oilite bush supporting the starter motor shaft (in the bell housing on petrol engined gearboxes)

Looking at clutches myself to try and cure intermittent judder, seen this morning that Eurocarparts are currently selling the full Sachs kit for £75.60 with free delivery, also in stock in my local store. Seems like a good deal.

Yup..very good deal.
Juddering when cold/damp I bet...typical


Also..make sure your engine and gearbox mounts are in good condition.
