how much should i be looking to pay to have my clutch replaced in my 89 1.6 driva??

I would have thought that prices in the region of ?150 - ?200 (depending where you go) would be pretty reasonable. Curiously, a clutch for a 1.6 is more expensive than for a 1.8 - dunno why! The difference is marginal however.

About 50 bar to do it yourself  :D

That's true, but not everyone has the time or expertise to do that sort of job. I was coming from the garage price angle as posed in the original question.

To be fair, I'd do it at home!

Thats good stuff, Sounds like they never even charged you for the tea bags or bacon sarnies. ;)
