My clutch on MY98 started slipping this morning and just called the dealer and they reckon it'll cost me £800 + another £200 if I have the fly wheel done.

Are they taking the p!ss?? Does anyone know a cheaper option.

Please HELP!

I had my clutch changed for (quite a lot) less than that last year. However, I sourced the parts myself and helped out with the heavy lifting at the garage!

Cost me £170 for the clutch and £100 for fitting.

Clutch kit came from www.importcarparts.co.uk and has 3 year unlimited mile guarantee. It is only suitable for running standard torque, or a bit above (on a UK car).

Was that clutch price including VAT??

hi all, sorry to hijack the post, but where did you get the clutch fitted for 100 notes? my 97 uk is slipping badly and i have managed to get a new ebc clutch for it but my local dealer wants 400 quid to fit it!! anyone know of anywhere good in norfolk? (or as good as anything can be in norfolk)

thanks all, and again sorry for the thread hijack,

Bumpkin.

I got it fitted at a Calbourne garage on the Isle of Wight. Probably not too convenient for anyone other than us islanders!!

Dealers are a rip off! The dealer near us charged £1200 including vat for clutch and a new flywheel. And they had loads of customers to!
lol

dont even get me started: there arent enough hours in the day to cover the cr*p i have had with my local dealers. i wouldnt mind so much if they were wearing a mask dick-turpin style, but just robbing me with a smile on thier face takes the p*ss. so anybody got any ideas on a better solution? again, apologies for the bandit style hijack of the thread.

Just ordered a Borg and Beck clutch for my MY94 from

here

for £85.34 including delivery and VAT. Which i thought was a fantastic price. Comes with a three year warranty as well.

Just got to get it fitted now

Good one mate! I just got a quote from your people...They got my business!!!

....and I work in Theale so I'll speak with subaru4you bout fitting it.

a little cheaper that the skankin monkeys at the dealership.

I am much happier than yesterday

yes, however, my car is MY96 and therefore has the smaller bellhousing and smaller (& cheaper) clutch.

I think you will be looking at the £200 version.

Still, it's better than £800!

Edited to fix clicky bits.
