HELPPPPPP
Just put car into JC's today.
I knew the clutch was pretty poor , it slipped in 2nd and 3rd gear!
Got a call to fix it.. £760 for parts, VAT and labour.
OMG am I cheap or is that not expensive.
Where can I go thats cheaper???????????:disapprove:

Most independent garages would be about half that price. What about Davidson's in Turriff?

Your car has got the old style gearbox Im sure so therefor 3Hours is plenty time to replace the clutch;)

Does that mean that the old style gearboxes are more £friendly than the new ones to fix:question:
