C15 has 4 bonded plates and 5 plain plates.

First plate into clutch is a plain one, then bonded and so on. Last one will be plain then the pressure plate.

Many thanks for your quick reply.
Would you recommend me to replace the friction plates whilst stripped down.
Regards
Wayne.

Check condition of all the plates, including checking the ears for burrs and check the chainwheel for indented slots.

Only replace if they look worn or plates not flat.
