Hi,
Just had mine done,

Clutch £146, labour £250 (cash).
Not too bad in the scheme of things ....

Cheers Paul A i will have to ring around Monday, Just for reference what sort of mileage did you have on the clock when it required changing.

Hi,
I only had 50,000 on the clock.
There is a problem with the b series clutches in as much as if you slip the clutch a lot (as in town/city driving) they get very hot and the springs in the plate go weak.
Exactly what happened to mine.
There was loads of life left on the lining but the springs were so weak they almost fell out!
Make sure you get a good make of clutch, the one I got was "Quinton Hazell".

mine was a "valeo" kit

Could be thrust release bearing from middle of clutch plate. If you have to change that check clutch while there is it needs changing do it.
