Knackered clutch - how much to replace?

[Hellraiser]

Anyone know of anywhere in the West Mids that can do a clutch replacement on my 1.8 Bravo? How much do Kwik-fit etc charge? Some idea on labour time/cost?

Bloody car, I'd earmarked that cash for summat else and now this happens

Cheers

Its about a 5 hour job,between 35-70 quid an hour +about 100 quid for the clutch.....

Not too sure about who does em in the west mids as im in the east mids ...from a clutch centre though they normally charge around 300 all in but there normally animals so check all the bolts are in before you leave.

LOL that inspires confidence then Might have a word with my friendly mechanic mate and see if he can do it, I ain't spending 300 quid on a car thats worth less than a grand!

Sorted now - there is a Fiat specialist in Willenhall who did the job for 190 quid all in, drives like a new car now - can't believe how heavy the clutch was before - it's lovely and light now!
