Is there a guide for changing the clutch?
I have a feeling it might be going
No point it saying the car is s**t and it takes 11.9 hours, i don't care about those answers, just if anyone knows of a guide.
Thanks in advance

Well that's the quote they gave me, not my problem if it eats into their profit.
Peugeot however wanted £1080 plus VAT just for the labour! Why would anyone in their right mind go to Peugeot for repairs????

Autodata has the job listed at 10.2 hours labour.
Peugeot has the job listed at 10.9 hours labour.
Anyway with Mr Clutch involved I can see this ending in tears

Well just because some people have had a bad experience doesn't mean all companys are the same.

I work in a dealership and sadly a lot of "technicians" are great. It's the luck of the draw. We have a mechanic who use to work in mr clutch and he's very good. It all depends on who gets the job

The answer to the question I want to give is likely to just upset you so I wont bother giving it
