The dealership changed hands couple of years back and the rest of the stock was sent to another in my area as the new owners didn't want it.
Think I'll go on the 'hunt' and see if I can grab some more

Don't suppose you're on the same clutch after that many KM's / miles ?
Heck makes me think why did I move to Australia...oh yeah.. the weather is 1000times better ...
Over here I only found one dealer out of x4 I checked that had one bottle and wanted $120AUD for it. It really is like gold dust!!

Clutch went while on the highway at 203k, was knocking (as DMF's do) for quite a while before that though. Got a dealer to install an aftermarket one after they took pity on me when they looked up the OEM price for replacement hahah..... I had been towed to them so was at their mercy anyways.. so they were good blokes for suggesting the aftermarket one.
