Hi guys I hope you are all having a better day than me! On my way to work this morning the clutch completely went, gutted. I recently moved to Germany and had to leave the car at home for a month and it has never really felt right since I brought it over. I just put it down to being left for a while and also age. I got the oil changed and a general service but I still felt it wasn't pulling properly, but seeing as it's a 2 litre I just thought it's never been that fast so it's probably just me. Anyway yesterday I went too fill up and it was slipping like mad, hardly any speed and the rev counter was going crazy, I thought I could make it to a garage this morning but no. Thing is I am at the mercy of the garage which I managed to tow it to. I was just wondering what the cost is of a standard replacement, obviously it's gonna be an estimate based on UK prices, I would just like a rough idea. What is the likely labour time etc. Also this dual fly wheel business will they have to replace that? Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.

Got a quote back 685 euro! I can't believe it, I think it's gonna have to be a home job. Luckily my Father in law is up for doing it himself. What's the best replacement? Is it advisable to replace the DMF or upgrade it? I'm so gutted i can't get over the price.

Thanks for the link. It's not normal for the clutch to go after 50k is it?
