New flywheel / clutch?

[AudiSport]

Hi all,

My uncle has a Mini One d with around 30k miles. The gearbox is very notchy and he has been told it's a common problem and the flywheel / clutch need replacing. The cost of which will be £1000.

I would be really interested to here your opinions on the above. Is it a common problem - and what is the going rate for a new clutch etc?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Thanks very much for your input. It would seem then that the £1000 quoted to do the work is pretty much the going rate for a small independent garage.
