Clutch....I think..... cost in London?

[markwoody]

Evening gents,

I'm returning to the forum after a couple of years. I was always a lurker anyway. Still got my 110, who has been a good girl up till this afternoon.

Kept having to rev high to get her to move, almost burning the engine out! I'm no good on the spammers, so a pal looked at it and reckons it's the clutch as it now won't even go into gear. Seems right...

Anybody think of anything else it could and also the London cost of a new clutch...and anywhere good to go around south west London? Cheers, Mark

If it were South East, I'd say London Range Rovers ...

So the clutch pedal feels normal, you press the pedal and engage a gear, let up the clutch and the engine revs rise but the Land Rover does not move as fast as it should?
If you are driving along in gear, say third, and you put your foot on the gas without pressing the clutch pedal, do the engine revs rise without an increase in speed?

And now you say it won't go into gear. If it will with the engine not running then l'd say definitely clutch gone.

Round here you'd pay £500 to get a new one fitted.

Whoever fixes it, it doesn't sound like you will be driving it there, so one factor governing the choice of garage is your recovery options - assuming you could get it recovered for 50 miles or so that opens up a whole lot of potentially cheaper options than south west London simply based on hourly labour rates. If you work out your maximum recovery distance you should have a number of options to ring round for quotes. £ 500 sounds optimistic for down here, £650 and up sounds more like it but I'm frequently surprised when I ring for prices, a lot depends on how much work they have on. If you can get to Herts or Bucks I can give you some better ideas of who to call.

I used AJS in Kingswood on 01737 241370 - I think I paid £500.
