Derek,
I'm hoping to forestall some confusion and frustration by writing- a
"clutch cover" is what we refer to as a pressure plate, and the "plate"
is what we call the disk. The throwout bearing would be referred to as a
"release bearing".
Having owned perhaps 30 Haynes manuals has given me a pretty fair
understanding of British automotive jargon. I now know most of a
saloon's parts, from the wings to the boot!
