    Ianking has done several and i'm sure he'll advise the time involved for a competent mechanic to perform the job

    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.

    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.
