That's brilliant!

Is your car petrol of diesel?
Just asking ref the clutch, as I need one in mine and think this might become the straw that brakes the camels back for me.

That's a very good price!

The quote's I've been getting are around the 1k mark!
Have you had your flywheel replaced as well?

Sorry, just seen you said 3 parts. So no DMF. Is that right?

I am having clutch problems too, bite point on my CDTI has always been very low since I got the car, but the last few days i have been struggling to get the pedal down far enough to select first or reverse when first setting off, it seems to get better when the car has warmed up.
This morning I had the situation where the pedal didnt come back up very far when I lifted my foot, I could lift the pedal slightly with my toe, then it sprang all the way back up with a clunk, later in the journey the pedal was coming back up normally,


I'm based in Telford, Shropshire, is there anyone near here that is recommended, or would the chap in Burton on Trent be my best bet?


Thanks in advance for any help.
