Just wondered if anyone knew a decent mechanic who could do a reasonably priced clutch change on a 2.0 HDI? Basically someone like KrisB but around the North West ?
Also which is a decent clutch kit to buy? (Uprated ideally or decent standard)
All the mechanics around here I know of will charge an arm and a leg for a crappy job. Would do it myself if I had the tools and time :/
Thanks !

Cartoonhead aka Larry, is top notch. Done loads of work on both my cars and I highly rate him. He is based in Middleton. Give him a shout.

I've seen clutches fitted the wrong way round even though it has the engine side stamped on it!
