On the 2.0, it is 10 bolts, a few clips, and it's off. 45 minute job.

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..
