ok wer abouts are u from ? i live in maidenhead..
after the covers done..
next jobs would be cam belt and water pump..
a good service 2... id like to have it runnig sweet basically..
few other things but these will take a few weeks of working 7 days to pay for it... :y
-
Bet they didn;t clean the breathers out either......
-
i expect that would be extra on top of the cost...
so yeh i need to do that aswell tho..
grr
i asked them about my cam belt and water pump to..
he said it wouldnt cost much lol bet it does....
mr clutch ur fired!!!!! ;D

I've never heard a good result about Mr.Clutch-at-straws yet, sadly..they can't even seem to do clutches properly, from what i've heard. Everyone i've heard from has had problems with their cars soon afterwards from other issues relating to the clutch change - but not from the actual clutch itself, it must be said.
At those prices, even a Vauxhall dealer would have been cheaper - for something like that they would have a "book price" for it - and would have to stick to it (and argue if they don't).
Sorry to post such a negative comment - but on what planet would they charge £100 for that job? I'd have driven over and done it for that! Even with £40 of petrol costs i'd make £60/hour..

You forgot the breathers!
-
would cleaning the breathers be part of the cam cover n gasket change in mr clutch tho?
i doubt it myself...
hopefully it will be finished by the time i finish work tomorrow..
will let u know the finished price...
and if they cleaned the breathers....
il be having a good look at it when i get it back. grrr
cheers
