went out for a ride up the coast today and the clutch is slipping grrrrrrr
called in to a clutch centre near mine and was quoted nearly £500 fitted (kinell) if i cant get a cheaper quote its going to get broken

, anybody had any clutch prices lately ?

My wifes 1.8 Vectra had the clutch go back in 2009 and it was £448 so looks like the going rate. The parts were the cheap bit. It was the labour for dropping the front subframe that pushed the price up

If you had a Diesel with a DMF you could end up paying around the £1200 mark as the flywheel could need replacing as well.

Make sure its not a slave cylinder or how its called....
that thing that presses clutch...

Maybe it is failing, or there is low fluid level..(depends on your car)

Morning,

Got a quote of Mr Clutch for £299.

Worth trying.

Cheers,
John

I've just had the dual mass flywheel/clutch replaced with the earlier "dog dish" flywheel/diesel clutch set-up, on my 940. Cost me £330 at local independant. Considering the 3-piece Sachs clutch alone costs £150ish didn't think it a bad price.

Pete.
