Picked the 4x4 up this morning the delay was because the replacement took 13 hours in total not 3 as costed by Hyundai , fortunately I had agreed to the original quote before work commenced 😉
Labour 275.07
Parts 1114.28
VAT 277.87 Total 1667.22
I spoke with the workshop foreman this morning, used to be a neighbour till we moved & he told me the sheer weight of the unit caused the biggest problems but if they get another one in the price would be a lot different !
So back to Sussex tomorrow to collect the caravan.

Wise of Tilbo to get a quotation before the work commenced. I imagine the Hyundai labour figure is based on the lads doing the job having done a few before and knowing what they were doing.

 James CDX's clutch change description says it can be done in four hours without help, impressive.
The first one I did took longer than that, things kept going wrong; gearbox not coming off as expected, not going back on easily, hydraulic hose reconnection, gear linkage reassembly, etc.

 In the 1970s a mobile mechanic, Martin Semmler, changed the clutch on my Peugeot 505GTI family estate, in my drive, in a morning, for about £100, seemed cheap enough.

Those old Peugeots were great, and I believe are still a common sight on the roads of Francophone Africa.

I'm surprised labour is so cheap and the parts so expensive.

.

Labour = 91.69 per hour , fortunately online charged me for 3 not the whole 13 😀

What were they playing at, its not that hard to change with a ramp, there just big and heavy boxes (yet still rather weak)

I guess at the price a new flywheel was fitted to ?

Yes dual mass flywheel also fitted.
