Clutch

Hi guys,
well it looks like I bought a duff one after all. Following my purchase of a 75 Classic which I was told had just had a new clutch fitted I now find that it needs doing again to the tune of approx. £1000. Master cylinder has been changed and I have to pay for that £280, I`m not a happy bunny. Does anyone know of a decent mechanic who would take on the challenge of sorting it for a sensible price or should I just bite the bullet and scrap the thing.
Any advice would be appreciated,
cheers
Andrew

Dave Johnson (former MGR Master Tech) at Fencehouses will fit a clutch you supply for £250 labour costs, and a diesel clutch can be found HERE

If you want his number, I'll send it in a PM
