Clutch cost

Chrisb54 · 16th November 2018, 20:26

Just acquired an MG ZT2.5 2003. Needs a clutch replacement. What would be a reasonable cost. Been quoted between £850 and £1,100 from local independent.

Crikey that a bit steep!

We charge circa £500!

That has to be the bargain of the year! I hope they realise what is involved.

Probably not, and I suspect it won't be a subframe off job

Talking of bargains, how about this price for a genuine Rover three part diesel clutch assembly.

And for a V6.......LINK

Neither of these include the gash tazu slave cylinder either, I only wish I'd seen it before buying the LUK kit

Damn good prices Bri, the only way to do a clutch without hassle is to drop the subframe, its so much easier.

The diesel clutch - can it be any good at that price? If I'm paying someone to fit it, I want to know it will last!

It is genuine MGR, are you going to get better than that Andrew?

Doubt it, Brian. I don't actually need one at the moment, but as soon as they've all gone, I probably will. Last car that needed a clutch was my A4 - release bearing disintegrated at 130,000miles (wife driving - I blame her!) The 75 went through 123,456miles today. Hmm...
