Default Quote for Clutch change

Hi guys,

just wanted to know if someone can give me an idea on how much I should be paying for a clutch change.

I've been quoted £200 if I supply the clutch (non dealer garage)

Does this sound about right?

Cheers

Dunno, It might be as simple as a typo and I meant £260 + VAT, Anyway, the correct prices are as above. We don't charge extra for a flywheel change it is only 8 extra bolts or so.

He does a great job. Garages advised me that it would take a day to fit the parts. Tim did it in 3 hours!

No doubt David and his guys know their stuff and on my last scoob I had one of his lightened oe flywheels and 'his' oe spec exedy clutch 230mm and it survived multiple santa pod launches which were basically full clutch dumps at high revs on a sticky track without any trouble whatsoever.
