How long did it take in total if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks guys. There's nothing like abit if DIY on a Saturday. with all my tea breaks ( it was a tad cold) about 6 hours. So not much longer than I had been quoted. Quoted 4-5 hours tops.

Great job, I'm up at C.J's doing mine next weekend!

Well done, mine took me a couple of days inbetween family requirements and work. Does feel nice to complete a job like that on your own and the new clutch will feel great. Just bare in mind it needs a little bedding in with gentle driving before playtime.

I've done it before. 1st time took 2 days cuz I was working it out as I went along.

2nd time was 1 day

I suspect greendream is a superhuman nutjob on steroids and therefore probably did it in half a day. it's a ballache to do on axle stands like that !

Done one in a little over 3 hrs taking the engine out ;)
