It took me three days to do the clutch on this engine. I had never done one before and would have done it in 2 easily, but had trouble getting the gear box back in. It wasn't a hard job as in lots of fiddly bits, more a case of lots of tight seized bits and heavy lumps of metal to remove.
If you have done them before then it should be relatively easy.

It's probably why it was down the auction to be honest. Any calling around for quotes would have had the previous owner running a mile (it books as an 8 hour job if I remember) so you'd be looking at £400.00/500.00
If you can do it with the help of another then you'd end up with a bargain I suspect. The clutch parts are about £100.00 I think (try to get an LUK one from Eurocraparts or similar).
Oh an a shiney new cable wouldn't go a miss

I've got a reciept for the clutch being replaced on my 406, and it cost £350 all in, which isnt to bad tbh.. I suggest that you shop round mate, i'm sure you will find a place who will replace it for a good price..
