New Clutch Quote
Hi. I'm in need of a new clutch for my 2003 CDTi 75 Tourer. I have been quoted £760.00 and wonder if those on this Forum think this is reasonable or if not can anyone recommend a garage to do the job.

I was estimated £800 by a small, local ex-Rover garage, now just a local, respected mechanic, including DMF, and £600 by another, excluding DMF. I decided to do it myself - no DMF needed.

Or try Lates600 - http://www.lates600.com/services.htm. Lates is an expert and he's also a member on here - best to email him though (PM me if you want his address).
£760 sounds way over the top to me. |

There's a guy in Derby doing them for £350 I think it was - not sure how much he charges normally but he posted in a Rover FB group its an offer to celebrate bigger, new premises. Marshall Performance Motors I think its called. Lates is excellent too, he did my belts and service, but no idea of his clutch prices. Same for Trikey.

Seems a bit too much as others have said.---You need to shop around a little bit more and get a couple of hundred off.

please bear in mind there is a bolt each side that can and often does seize. Whilst people often mention the master, slave and clutch there are other parts that are recommended to be changed at the same time. It is each to their own if they change them or not. How vital it is to change these other parts I have no idea and so because I don't know, I changed them. £750 is higher then I have seen mentioned before, £650 but I thought Trikey offered to do the job for £500'ish. With his knowledge I would say he is a safe bet macafee2 |

And before anyone says anything, the slave had gone noisy (metal slave) and the AP clutch had done around 1K miles, so that's why the clutch itself wasn't replaced. But when you change the slave if it's a worn clutch you might as well swap it as it's only a couple extra bolts. |

Dont forget the 5 hours is predicated on 2 men x 2.5 hours - i bet most garages will quote 4-5 hours - saying that i have seen Andy Willi do it on his own in 2-3 hours.
