Hi Minty, couldnt tell you how to change clutch, as from what I know they are not easy, a local garage should be able to do it for you thou, if you ask and say I would be buying the clutch kit, so they just charge labour, if you look on a site called shop4parts, you can buy a clutch kit from there, or you can call them and they go by your number plate which gives them your chassis number, which means you get the correct part, I use them all the time and save a fortune, hope that helps
 
thanks still not sure whether to pay a garage or get dirty hands!
 
Nothing better than getting dirty and knowing its done right, if you do it yourself you could fit a new DMF and it would still be cheaper than paying for it to get done.
 
if you do it your self the main thing is to make sure you take things off in the wright order,,is it petrol or diesel and were are you located ? it took me under 2 hours to get the gearbox on the floor from start to finish.
 
im in kent.its a diesel but its left hand drive and is cable operated but i assume more or less the same procedure.Do i need any special tools
