Default Clutches fitting in cardiff area

Does anybody know locally to cardiff newport area the cheapest place to get a new clutch fitted> I have priced up a blueprint one from jap parts in cardiff but i need someone to fit, price is £125 so that doesnt seem too bad. What a time for it too go slipping like sh*t in 3rd and 4th. Guess its too far gone too see about adjustment ,(if you can).Its for my sport my2000

you can get it done cheaper than that, drj done mine at the beginning of the year and fitted a uprated clutch with lightened and balanced flywheel for around £700

Has the lightened/ balanced flywheel helped

Well I was given a list of faults after my main dealer service, none of which were true after having it looked at by another mechanic... so take what they say with a pinch of salt.. I second ringing Mr Garner.. top service, good prices..

Thumbs up

Got the clutch done at DRJ and was mighty impressed with the chaps there for fantastic service. Not very often you go to a garage and made to feel that welcome. Cost me £400 with oil and new bearing and the clutch is now as light as a feather . Did give Chris a ring but he never got back to me until today and I needed it done quik . Anyone not been to DRJ, cant recommend them highly enough
