The clutch on my 118k 55 D3 manual is splipping when pushed in 3rd gear and returns to normal if gentle  . Reckon its on its way out , can anyone advise on a good place near Bath/Bristol to get it changed and also how much it might cost?

I was very surprised at how little the main stealers wanted to do this. From memory it was 700 notes including parts. I can't find the quote now. I'm guessing that was without a new flywheel.

I think you should replace the lot? flywheel as well? I recall someone said that there was a website where you could get quotes from from dealers that were pretty good?

No, in fact in spannering terms it's fairly easy. The issue comes with the weight and size of the bits you are trying to manhandle

New clutch fitted, just over a grand, LUK fitted, including flywheel, seems to have made the car feel a load better ride wise.....
