I got my box taken out in june, to have the clutch bearing fixed.

was a good 700 quid for the full repair lol

We had our clutch changed after the thrust bearing collappsed.

The clutch for our cooper only cost us £100 and lucky enough for us it was free labour from the father in law.

Dont know what a cooper s clutch will cost.

Cheers guys! Got a call tonight from my m8 saying it was collapse so will be £350! Result! If the flywheel needed doom it would have been £650. Phew!

Yeah Ive done 2 on R50 Cooper. Took me about 4 hours from car on the ground broken to var back on the ground working.
I paid £100 for the clutch but fitted it myself. I dont think the R53 is much different but I think the intercooler has to come off to gain access to the gear change selector.
