i was quoted £970 all in at a local "respected" 4x4 centre.
Took it too an independant garage who quoted me £670 all in.
Decided to waitWasnt entirely convinced it needed doing at all so i decided to wait until it becomes an issue. But needless to say the 4x4 centre wont be getting the job!!
Im in the north east of the uk though, so that doesnt help you in Bath! lol Tony

£670 all in is very cheap , the parts will be £470 so thats some very cheap labour rate as its generally considered a 5-7 hr job and takes some grunt to do .
i got quoted £400 to fit so i was £870 supplied and fitted
would recommend calling Steve at advanced factors for your kit and it will be LUK manufacture so original land rover fitment. MY05 SE D3 Manual my first LR what a car
MY10 HSE D4 auto
MY14 XXV more buttons than the spaceshuttle

Hi all further to this discussion, does anyone recommend an indy garage close to Pontypridd south wales that can change the clutch, is it better to change flywheel at the same time and is it better to buy parts myself or the garage to supply? I am thinking that if I buy, then at least I know that they are genuine parts. Any help advise is greatly appreciated

After having it done did you guys need to change gearbox or anything my cluctch just gone and I'm deciding wherever to sell as spares or fix it, my problem is I owe 2.5k on mine disco 3 2006 with loads of extras worth 6k running or maybe 3 as spare and repair everthing else seems fine she's done 125k had break stuck on so tried to force it off and then clutch went so I'm assuming it was on way out anyway

No need to change gearbox. Mine is on 228,000. I suspect my car is worth circa £3k. I've spent £4k on it this year. It does everything i need it to do so as far as i'm concerned its money well spent but each to their own.
New clutch and DMF is about £1.2k. Personally if I were you I'd just do it and keep enjoying it. What else are you going to get for the money that offers so much? New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)
