Hi all,

Not been around for a while, hope everyone is well!

Last night for the first time in 3 years of owning my escort, it broke down! Got recovered by RAC, and I can not fault them...within 15 minutes of ringing they were with me!

The clutch has gone, can anyone tell me a rough figure to get a clutch supplied and fitted?

Thanks in advance

 

I would imagine at least 200-250 at a guess

 

Nice to see you back on the board caz, i hope you are ok

No idea on a clutch price

Steve

 

Hey Steve,

Yeh im good thank you, not been around much, been working n keeping my head down! Got engaged at christmas so been busy doing other things than sitting on the internet lol

Hope you and the family are good

 

250 about the going rate, thats what i`d charge at one of my centres anyway and one is in Chelmsford, try Mr.Clutch on new london road good lads in there.

 

Congratulations on the engagement

Busy doing other things, i bet lol

Family is fine thank you

Steve

 

Thanks for the replies!

Least i have a figure in my head to work with now n try and find the money! lol

bloody cars!

Cheers Steve

 

Mr Clutch?????????

Check gearbox oil when you get it back, I know of two different mr clutch garages that have forgot to put oil back in the box.

The gearbox didnt last long after that.

 

Or if they do put it in expect it to piss out at a very steady stream on the way home like mine did when I went to one years ago.

 

Was just thinking last night that you haven't been on for ages! lol.
Hope you get the car sorted soon.

 

Hey Dan! I think im going to be getting a different car....its not worth the fix tbh the car aint worth it!

Good to see your still about!

Thanks to everyone else's input

 

Another non vote for mr clutch, lasted 16 months in a ka, also had a few extra wires hanging down after collecting the car, being the exhaust sensor!

fitted a ford one myself after that, that was over 4 years ago now!


My advise, buy a clutch from fords, and get a local independent garage to fit it, if possible get recomendations via friends and family on a garage.

 

Awww, cant get rid of the poor escort!
You can have a piece of crap none working cossie if you want?

 

i also had propper bad experiences sending my customers to mr.clutch but i know the lads in that particular branch i mentioned and the service and quality of work would have been bang on

sorry your getting rid of the motor because the clutch has failed

 

Caz!! you haven't been around in ages!!

 

It's gonna be sad to see her go, i love the car to bits, i just can't justify spending out on the clutch when there is more problems with her, its going to cost more than its worth

To be fair, I paid £300 3 years ago this month, and Scort has done me proud, Ive had it looking great colour wise, and its done lots of miles with me, and even been round the nurburgring last year, but i think its time to say goodbye...

It's not just the clutch, the mot is due in april along with the tax, and the mot is not going to pass the emissions! There is more problems with the engine, not that Scort shows them, she's driven so well all this time apart from a few niggly issues that weren't really big problems but it's going to end up costing me a fortune when i need a car on the road, reliable and going to last!

Ha, I know..been a while! How are you?

 

All is good, the daytime club died without you

congratulations on your engagement, are we all invited to the wedding?

 

I think they were £300 to £380 fitted... my dad went through 3 of them in his mk6 escort.

 

Haha the good ol' days! lol

Thank you very much could you imagine it pmsl
