I walked out of my job last Friday and I've decided that I'm just about old enough to call it a day. Bit of gardening, shopping etc. ;)
Anyhow, I told the Mrs that as I wouldn't be up and down the motorway any more and she would, she had to use the astra(38mpg) and I would use the ZT(22mpg). So, it's a bright red MG for me! VROOM!

JCT600 used to flog them and still fix 'em...using GENUINE ROVER PRICES ;D

Same with Barbers in Northwich. You can still get genuine parts but you have to sell a kidney to afford them.

Thats because its an absolute B-stard of a job to do on one of those!

Must be. Parts can't be more than a few hundred so presumably it's more than a grand in labour.
-
It will be an engine out job, hence the huge labour bill, If memory serves me right. Lovely cars though.
-
Probably not engine out but, full subframe out job!
-
The slave cylinder lives inside the gearbox, the master is above the clutch pedal and is sealed for life (at least it's supposed to be, I've just topped it up ;))
The DM flywheel breaks up and is changed as a matter of course.
All in all, a idiot of a job which is why I've traded it (See new thread)
