Hi ya,

had a quote from both dealer and non-franchise before mine expired so had no choice but to be toed, very unhappy for us both.

Anyway to answer your question you have to disconnect quite a lot of things. Have a hoist for the engine so you drop the sub-frame out and then split the gearbox from the engine. Mine was in for two days so i had my cam and aux belt done at the same time couldn't be bothered with all that lining up.

Cost well £600 notes for 8 to 10 hours job with parts which includes clutch and new throw out bearing. Get the gearbox flushed as well i had a nightmare doing that myself. Its a sealed lifetime product but you may as well and its cheap insurance. You should see what an automatics looks like after 50k.

Just make sure you don't have what i had a rattle due to the cat bolts not being tightened up. Next they broke my locking wheels nuts and finally a spiget pin on one of the wheels, as they have to disconnect the drive shafts.

Dealers who would use hey ? me
