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.

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. ;)
