help/advice needed

Guys,

Clutch has gone on the daily runner (fiesta 1.25 zetec - 1998)

Have had a quote locally of 425 inc vat etc - that seems bloody expensive to me!

Anyone in/ around colchester know of anyone that can do it cheaper? I thought it should be around 200-250quid !!

Cheers

Iggle

I know a really excellent reliable Mechanic in Witham - highly recommended (and won't rip you off!!)- let me know if you want more info!!

Doesn't seem that much to me - if you remove the VAT that comes to £361. The last time I changed a clutch myself (I think about 2 years ago), the clutch itself cost about £175, including various other bits (seals etc.) which also needed to be renewed.

That only leaves £185 for labour charges, which doesn't seem to be too much, unless the clutch on your car is a quick job.

For £425, I'd buy a new car
