Clutch

[Casio]

Yes, last night whilst driving around with a few mates, my clutch decides to go, it's not the cable but the actual clutch, anyone know how much this will roughly cost to get fixed. I have a Ford Fiesta Zetec 2006

You're looking at a good few hundred quid for a whole new clutch I'm afraid.

Depends on the car.

To give you a rough example, on a Corsa, it'll cost about £650-750, on a Astra it'll cost upwards of £1,400

My dad told me to be kind to my clutch because they're very, very expensive. Call Ford and ask.

It's not the clutch but rather the Labour that will cost you a majority of this job. Ring local dealers for quotes, Ford are likely to be more expensive.

My Uncle has a Ford Focus, and his went cost him 600 pounds...
Thats for a whole new clutch and obviously labour too.

are you having a laugh? What's the clutch made out of, gold? Clutch will be about £600 maximum fitted, unless you go to a main dealer or likewise. Find a trusted garage, or just find a friend with an engine crane and save yourself a wedge. It's a big job because the gearbox has to also come out.

Like I said; depends on the car.

£1400, for a clutch getting supplied and fitted? You could buy a whole engine and get that fitted and still have change from £1400.

In Astra's you'll find that if your clutch goes then so does the fly wheel, and due to the unique way everything is fitted, in a modern Astra you'll be looking at upwards of £1,000 for a new clutch, as most of that is labour.

I am aware of how they go together. You don't always *need* your flywheel replaced but it is usually replaced at the same time depending on the mileage/wear due to the gearbox being detached, thus removing the future risk of flywheel failure and taking apart the gearbox once again.

Needless to say the figure still seems rather steep. Generally you'd be looking at up to £400 for parts unless the vehicle had a large engine, drivetrain or was a performance car in which case it would usually be a little more. £1000 is far in excess of what I would pay, let alone 'upwards of.' I picked up a refurbished gearbox, brand new clutch and dual mass flywheel for £650 for the Golf I had, it was fitted within a day using an engine crane and I got £100 for the gearbox which was bought to be refurbished and sell on in the future.
