Hi,

The local dealer has quoted 527 pounds to replace the clutch on a 2.0TS 99T, does this sound right or will a clutch centre do it cheaper?

Cheers

What about an independant Alfa specialist near you? They are often the best compromise between full on main dealer hourly rates and kwik-fit fitters. There's not much room in there and plenty of things to disturb if you don't know what you are doing.

Try giving someone like Trofeo a ring for a price to compare. 0115 955 5100. Don't know anything about them but I got their number from the Owners Club Directory. They are in Sherwood, NG5.

charge shuld be 6 hrs labour...
new gear oil, £13
new exh.gasket a few £s
pos. 2 new gearbox oil seals £11?
new two part clutch kit around £125( I would only use valeo,nothing else,+ not recon!)
new clutch slave cly/oil seal only oe. £39
all parts prices approx.+vat
we would charge £300 labour + vat

ps test the starter mt.does it sound nice?
if not,change it with the gearbox out,
ck./change any rubber mounts that may be worn out
at the same time,no extra labour charge,just the part. a kwick fit will not do this as they want your car out + off the ramp asap.
all the alfa specialists inc.me want to keep the customer happy,and will do any extras.
if I have the bit s-hand.. will fit it for nowt.
its good for c.r.
