   Dont use text talk and this is in the wrong section but.......
   
   My clutch cost £65 to buy and im having it fitted for £80. The guy is actually off here and a top bloke for doing it at that price aswell.
   
   It is expensive if you get it done at a garage but it has to be paid sometimes.

   go to a local garage and ask them for a price.
   
   you didn't say what kind of clutch, a replacement stock one, or an uprated one ?

   i used to fit clutches all day long oh how fun
   
   and it was no were near 300 for a mondeo clutch which are pain in arse and saxos are really easy
   
   id say 175 at most for a saxo clutch as all areas of country are diffrent labour charges
