   I'll have a word with my Mums cousin Adam tomorrow, I'll see what he could do for you. I'm not promising it will be before Yorkshire meet, but I will try.

   i payed around 60 for the clutch and 130 for fitting. But he came to my house at 6.30 in the evening and didn't finish till 10.30.
   
   It was great, i nearly had it done in a mechanics, phoned up Mr Clutch and the guy wanted £170 to fit, i went to a local garage and they wanted £300. I siad, ah, ive had cheaper. He said, yeah, you get what you pay for. I replied, yeah, a clutch company smart ass ha ha ha.
   
   Just phone around, thats the best way!

    I'd love to give it a crack, but It'd have to be with the right tools and with someone who know's what they're doing. I don't wanna get so far and think 'FUCK, where does that go!?'
    
    Being a student obviously the less money the better.
    
    Anyone up for a challenge this weekend!!!!!!!!!???????
