Probably going to need a new clutch in my 325CI.

Any ideas on what clutch to get and where from?

Also, is it an expensive labour job to do?

Cheers

If you get a LUK clutch from an Andrew pages, sure there is one in Derby, you get lifetime warranty on it. (Apart from wearing the friction plate)

And shouldn't be an expensive job to do, they don't take long at all on a ramp, assuming you know what you're doing :D

Nice one Jamie, I think there is a local Andrew Page, was going to try ECP or GSF.

No ramp and not got the time to do it. Will take it to the garage, need a few other bits doing aswell.

Get some quotes and see if Andrew page can beat it, they usually can.

Phone them up and ask for discount. Tell them you can get it for the CP4L price and see what they can do.

Don't forget that if you add another £6.40 of bits to the cp4l order, you can get £15 off, bringing the clutch price down to £78.60.

My favourite number too :D

I think the car could do with some discs and pads so might as well change them now.

Cheers
