Default Where to get a new clutch fitted (for diesel)?

Can anyone recommend a good garage that could replace the clutch in my diesel 75 please?

I live in Loughborough, Leicestershire.

I normally use Austin Garages for all my servicing, but they can't help for at least a month and I doubt my clutch will last that long.

Thank you.

BS Motors of Sandy, Bedford. The garage is less than 5 miles off the A1.

Thank you.

Have you had one fitted there yourself?

They certainly look like they understand the cars. :-)

Yes - we had one fitted by them on our previous CDT. As they are an X-Part parts supplier, they also sell MGR parts. They are on ebay as ecp2004 for parts.

I have not used Lates but they have an excellent reputation on the forum. I suspect they will be cheaper than BS Motors.


My recommendation for the clutch parts is Luk. I would recommend to stay clear of cheaper parts such as Transmec and teh generic stuff on certain auction sites.

Have a look at these guys.

Chris is well known on here and if you know Austin Garages, he's about half a dozen miles away.

Good Luck with it.
