The clutch went in my Celeb this morning. I need it running asap so am going to go to a garage to get it replaced but would like to have some idea of the process and thus costs
From reading other topics, chaanging a cluctch seems to be a straightforward thing to do. Is thsi true? How long should it take a garage?
Does anyone know anywhere near Bracknell, Berks that they would recommend to do the work?

a clutch from eurocarparts is about £100. plus whatever they want to charge you to fit it.

Thanks very much for your message. I have had it done at Mr Clutch at a cost of £269 fitted. It turned out that the gearbox mounting had gone as well - a new ones costs a mere £129 from Volvo!
Still I'm looking forward to getting it back - I've been going round in a ford fiesta for a week now!

I have one kicking about my garage if you want John. I will have to look it out. Sure we can come to an agreement
