How much to replace clutch? Quoted £650?

[NX-STEP]

While driving I have shearing noise start to be audible around 69mph and faster... the shearing noise sounds like its coming from the front passenger wheel area only, if I take my foot off the accelerator at 69MPH the shearing noise stops. I put my foot back down and it happens again??? What is it???

Today a mechanic drove the car and said every time the shearing noise started he dipped the clutch and it stopped, so he is certain it is the clutch.
I need help, does this sound right? £650 parts and he said £500 of that is labour alone.
Im in NW London if anybody knows a decent mechanics for a second opinion?

CS any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've not done one on a clio, but I've done a few now and tbh I'd be fairly happy that I'd manage it in a day, without a ramp.
I suspect that proximity to london wont be helping your labour rate tbh but it feels high to me

A new genuine clutch is £100 delivered to your door from Russ @ SW Autos.

Id say £200, £250 absolute tops for labour is a fair price.

Thank you, can you recommend a garage that could do that?

Clutch price from most specialists is in the region of £450.

Two Techs Dartford is an option.

Not in London mate, I'm way over in Bristol!

@midge @Budgie may be able to offer an idea?

@Scrooge is your man!

Fair deal for everyone at £250 labour IMO.
