Why would it need a new clutch I am asking here. They would not have to take the gearbox out if it was a shaft seal. If the clutch felt fine before the work was ordered I would suspect they are trying to generate non-warranty income

What size engine is in this car and is it 8 valve or 16 valve. I am wondering if they have had to drop the subframe to disconnect exhaust manufold or similar and have damaged a driveshaft when doing that or spilt a driveshaft gait or and you subsequently driving it has caused the shaft to wear. £133 pounds for a clutch is quite cheap; is it actually the price of a drive shaft that they have damaged? I feel that there is something odd here but £133 is cheap and getting an independent engineer to asses will cost quite a bit. Will the AA or RAC investigate free?

Really sorry me again
! Car stopped at speed today overheated,engine died,waited for three hours for the rac and was towed to peugeot ! Appears the head gasket has again been compromised as the reason for overheating was empty coolant . They omitted to replace a clip on the hose when replacing the heater matrix weeks ago and when I was still worried on Friday and took it in to be checked I was told it was fine ! Feel like either crying or killing someone .rheough their sheer incompetence I have missed all aft at work two meetings I had to abandon and now my car is again at their garage . Just waiting to hear what their excise is this tune !

Did they give you any discount last time? Gesture of good will?
