Default Clutch

How much would it cost to have the clutch done on my 1.8l rover 75, just roughly
Thanks

It does depend on what parts you are changing but clutch plate, slave and the shaft it sits on, £650 with labour?

also check DMGRS web site for parts

what is wrong with yours?

Everyone you push done the clutch or just touch the pedal, it makes a slight wirring noise

Unless it stops you changing gears or goes to the floor don't worry, the noise is the bearing and even new ones can do that. If it's biting and not slipping in any gear it will be fine.

It has been doing it for a little while now but apart from the wirring noise there is no difference with the clutch at all.!!!!!!

I would drive it until something breaks as recommended by Mike.

Unless you are doing the job yourself, the cost is prohibitive.

Elongate the life of the release bearing by always putting the car into neutral when stationary.

Reduce the wear by not holding the pedal down at traffic lights or waiting at road junctions. The less time the pedal is down means less wear on the bearings.

I cut my gear changes down on long flat roads by using only 1st, 3rd, and 5th gears.
