I have a few questions that I need answering and some advice.
The car itself is a 1990 318i
Here we go;
I need a clutch - where is the best place to look? and how much will I be looking at price wise?
My inspection and service lights are on with another 2 indicators underneath. I need to know anyone local in the north-east area to reset these because they are annoying!
Lastly - I need 2 bottom arms due to ball joint dust covers. I dont want to simply replace the dust covers. Where and how much?
Thanks in advance

At least for the lights, here's how to reset them yourself:

The service lights are an easy DIY... http://www.e30zone.net/e30zonewiki/inde ... ion_Lights
http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/ for the clutch and bottom arms. Put your reg number in to make sure you get the right parts.
If you're planning on keeping the car for anymore than a year, don't bother getting the cheap parts.

The best place to look for these things are the online suppliers, places like Euro car parts, but more so car parts for less. They stock the OEM parts ant knock down rates.
Get a Sachs clutch kit, I would have thought about £130 would more than cover it.
As for the service lights you can turn these off yourself, by bridging pins 7 and 19 in the diagnostic plug in the engine bay.
Bottom arms, get lemforder ones from one of the suppliers above. £50+
