Hi guys,
Getting prices for my IRD and a possible future clutch change.
Had a couple of prices of £500 and £600 for a rebuilt IRD...£90 fitting, not bad!
But for the clutch, my independant peeps have said £275 for parts (clutch kit, release bearing and slave cylinder) and £580 labour! They said its high labour as they have to take the engine out! GULP!!
So my question, is it really necessary to remove the engine if they are doing my IRD and clutch at the same time?
Im guessing the only reason they would do this is if they didnt have a ramp and had to crane it onto a bench to do clutch? I dunno - im no mechanic"
Not naming garage out of courtesy.
