mornning!
So I had the joy of a slipping clutch this morning so clearly needs a change!
Anyone know where the best place to pick one up is and if it's something i (with Kittle knowledge) can do myself? If not how much am looking at to get it done?
Cheers
An LUK or Excedy clutch kit can be found on EBay for around £55. (both of very acceptable quality and performance)
Most competent garages should be able to do the job - it's not much different to any clutch job on any front-wheel-drive car.
Expect to pay around £250 for the labour, plus another £40 for quality replacement gearbox oil.
Not really a job for a solo beginner. Quite a bit of kit needed and it's very cumbersome.

Thanks that's great. Read the how 2 Just now and was hoping someone would tell me not to do it myself!! Think I'll "work from home" on Monday and get her booked in!!

Sorry for the double post - signal on the train! Any recommendations on decent gearbox oil? I was going to get Red Line Superlight but might b overkill!!

I don't believe in overkill for fluids. Go for Redline mt90

Don't forget to get new driveshaft seals for it too if you are getting it done.
Usually don't leak unless damaged upon removal/ refitting but worth changing while the box is out.

Good call - I'd completely forgotten
