New Clutch Hurrah!

Post by skylinemv »

Got a new clutch fitted yesterday, lower engine mount gearbox oil flush and change and coolant change all together, the car drives like new at 120k.

I was a bit concerned at first but now I don't need a leg like Arnold Schwarzernegger or what ever his name is, to use the clutch, the whole deal was £415 including VAT :lol:

I'd want a clutch, full service & cambelt for that. My clutch cost me £80 plus a days tinkering.

Not bad price that.
I paid £260 for a new clutch in mine this week. Must be the month for failing clutches! :mrgreen:
