The clutch replacement I couldn't find separately - it's listed in the parts catalog separately but it's more expensive than the whole compressor.

I found a Hella part number - 8FK 351 132-581 - which is a bolt-in replacement, and can be found for about £200 ($280) on eBay.

It turned out, following diagnostics at a local garage, that it wasn't the clutch which was the problem - the two pipes under the right hand side (driver's in the UK) had pinholes in them and needed replacing. Not good, given they had been replaced about 3 years ago.
