Xantia 1.8 16v clutch

It might be worth looking at the specifications of the turbo diesel cars which have a much higher torque output (CT turbo Xantia engine as well.)
What you are looking for is a clutch using the same size disc with a stronger diaphragm spring and perhaps an improved disc with stronger radial springs in it. What you must do is obviously check the disc splines, pressure plate fixing holes and release bearing type and height. - ie buy your friendly motor factor a couple of pints and get him to let you have a look at his books and hopefully the bits themselves.
Whatever you do do not try and fit a diesel flywheel. This will slow your car by an unbelieveable amount as the rotating mass to be accelerated every time you rev the engine will increase.
