Clutch cost

[drew.h]

What should it cost to replace a clutch? Does £815 sound expensive?

I paid about that for clutch, master and slave cylinders all changed at 48 hours notice so I could go to Italy on time last year...so seems rather expensive for clutch only...

My Chim 500 is with a TVR specialist for a clutch job at the moment. I will post the 'damage' early next week.

Had mine done at Neil Garner for £450 a couple of years ago,(Genuine clutch).

I'm sure the same place quoted me about £400 last year, just can't find that e-mail.

The Mini Centre in Barrow where keen to have a go. I was pleased with the work they did on my wife's last MGF and they do a lot of work on Range Rovers. I Think I'll buy the clutch and try them. So, next question is which clutch do I go for, Race Direct has the kit for £264, on ebay you have Techniclutch £225, AP £285 and Borg & Beck £203?

Avoid the ebay Techniclutch.....google will reveal all :crapclutchs:

I think Neil Garners did mine for just under £500 all in late last year - good guys and tolerated my annoying "hanging around and asking dumb questions" with a smile.
