The clutch itself isn't that expensive, the labour on the other hand is - very  s:( :( s:(  
I had a quote of £200 and that was with me supplying the clutch; I know markiii and Ekona paid around £240 at a place in Essex but again they supplied the clutch!

Factor in around a £100 if you buy a stock one from Toyota IIRC, more if you want an aftermarket jobbie. If you want a stock one let me know....

Might have to check the place out when I am back up at my Dad's sometimes (lives in Dudley, my home town......). Sounds like a good deal.
