Clutch on the Life is gone.... Which one should I replace it with ? The agents want R2000 for it and I can get a Sachs one from Golfwagen for R520??

Sachs for sure.
How may Km's is your car on, cause the clutch should last at least 100 000Kms

got 85600km on the car. I knew it wouldn't last 100000km because of all the Jamboree's, Tarltons, track days that I use it for. I also tow a venter on holiday and do mostly town driving...
Would the Sachs change the "feel" of the clutch.?? What about Repco or Valeo??

The feel changes a little, it has more bite, especially when brand new, but you get used to it and its great there after. I have always used SACHS and have never had and trouble with them. Handles 2.0l power and torque, so you should get good life (no pun intended) out of one in your car.
