So I believe. Vx went form a 30 min clutch on an Astra F to an all morning clutch on an Astra G 

But what do they care .. it's not like they're doing it for free (usually!)

More power and heavier cars means bigger clutches, gearbox input shafts and flywheels......this all results in a setup which requries gearbox removal to change them.

If you think there bad, try doing a 1.9 Golf!

Can anyone recommend a decent garage in the Peterborough/Spalding area, preferably one that doesn't require me to remortgage the house to get the clutch changed on my very old Mondeo...

Everywhere I have spoken too have quoted North of £400 except Mr. Clutch, who quoted me different prices on different occasions...   Feels like nearly all the garages around here think they can charge main dealer prices...

what reg mondeo?? petrol diesel??
there only one problem with it,  subframe need drop to get gearbox out thats way they want so much money for job . if you got rumps thats not bad job at all , but if you do on axle stands that different story 

Its an Old 1995 mk1 1.8 petrol...  and pm sent...
