New Clutch

[MazzaR26]

gettin a new clutch put in my valver and im being charged £400 for the job coz its 11 hours labour (by the book), somehow i just dont see it taking that long. How long should it take a decent mechanic to do it.

Cheers Mario.

7~8 hours is more normal time.

These clutch fititng specialist places are your best bet most places don't want the work as its so much work.
£250 or so cash your looking at paying then get the clutch for £80 or so from Renault. Don't bother with any copy cat one its not worth the risk.

You can get the clutch from factors a lot cheaper than renault. Phone round and find out, I got one from brown brother for £70 iirc when renault were wanting £100 + and it was a valeo clutch I got so exactly the same as renault were selling. I would agree though about going to a clutch specialist as otherwise you get charge an arm and a leg as it's not the best of jobs and most places can't be arsed doing it.
