Bit the bullet today and had a new clutch fitted.

first thing the technician tells me after roadtest? >

he BLITZED a 350z on the dualcarriageway that tried to play. He wants to buy the car off me now ......

how'd he get it that cheap unless you only pay like 10/ph lab????

we pay a reduced rate but the proper lab time.

was it a turbo? a release bearing is like 15 and a n/a clutch much cheaper
i bet it was a lovely 1.8

Depends what sort of pet mechanic you have and what sort of service manager is working at the garage, if the manager doesnt mind the odd bit of dodgy work going on after hours then ideal but thats an individual thing!
