Urgent advice needed on my clutch

[lozz]

Matty,
if you floor the car in 5th does the revs go right up
Any clutch judder ?

Dont let the Garages fleece you, how did they come to the conclusion that you need a new clutch?

£690 was they Wearing a Mask.

Quick update time,

Well tried bleeding it again with the master cylinder in the air, no difference so I'm guessing there’s no air in it.
Been to two more garages to confirm it is the clutch and the prices seems to vary from place to place from £300 - £700.
All the garages look to see how many hours it takes (according to their book) and apparently it takes 8 garage hours?? Does that sound right??
Another funny thing I got a quote from Mr Clutch (Who I have heard mixed reviews) for £275 (thought bargain), then I rang up to book it and the quote got raised to £350??

How long do you recon a novice like me take replacing this clutch by myself??

Just a quick post to update....

Well I booked Friday off work and so it decided to piss it down where I live ..... had everything ready for the change!!

So I rang my mates dad to see if he could squeeze me in and he said yeah, so dropped it off at 9.30am that morning and had a phone call 2.30pm top say it was ready to pick up ... that man is a legend !!

Had a quick look at the old clutch that came off and OMG it was F**ked ... don’t know how I could of got it to gear for as long as I did.

Anyways £300 lighter than I started but now she has a new clutch, pulled away from the garage that day and stalled!! Lol

Thanks peps for the advice with this!!
