I'm just wondering is anyone knows anything about this, 2 weeks ago I put a clutch in my 2.0 8v as the clutch plate had shatterd and the springs fell out, I put a new clutch in 2 weeks ago and today it has mangled another clutch disc?

What's the pressure plate look like, you sure you are putting it in the right way round?
-
does it go any other way
here's the clutch plate

Not being funny but if you dont know which way a clutch goes in then i would leave the job for a mechanic. Also which make clutch did you buy?
p.s you should get a new pressure plate (or whatever people call it now) with it
-
that's what im getting at. it only fits one way, yes I've got a new pressure plate and it's an LUK one going in today
-
Which clutch did you previously have in it?
-
it was a topran plate, before that it was Sachs

I'm not 100% but last time I bought one a few months ago you buy a kit. This comes with new pressure plate with bolts and a clutch. Follow the torque figures perfectly. I like to throw in an lower intermediate figure and torque in a opposites pattern. After this torque I tap round the pressure plate with a hide hammer to make sure everything is seated correctly before doing the final torque figure and then the 90 degrees.
A alignment tool helps but isn't needed, I do it by eye and then use some verniers to make it cantered.
