between Ł700-800 if using decent parts like LUK etc
i've seen cheaper parts available for them but i've never fitted them so cant say if they're any good or not
but i'd personaly fit the LUK clutch, flywheel and concentric slave cylinder for that price

See a clutch specialist
They are generally cheaper as they are quicker and know their stuff from doing it every day
A mate did a mondy one at ford main dealer and took 2 full days and they charged 1200 but he didn't know what he was doing and muddled thru

LUK Clutch kit (which is OEM) is Ł222 from Euro Car Parts, LUK dual mass flywheel is Ł384. When I went in store they had a 25% discount going just now also. I paid Ł408 for my bmw clutch and flywheel in total from them.

as said LUK is who supplies ford
but remember to add in the price of the new slave cylinder
job should take around 5 hrs if you get somebody that knows what they're doing

I charge a grand with new (LUK) clutch and dmf. I need it all day for that - its on my drive.

I am not interested or impressed by some clutch change figures or quotes. I've done a fair few and thats why I charge what I do - I have had plenty of takers

I get the work as I quote way cheaper than all others locally. I charge what I do because there is a willingness and market for it and I aint scared to say its a fooking lot of work.

If you can do it for Ł100 then good luck - like I said, I'm not interested in internet quotes

I cant do it for Ł100 but I wouldn't dare give someone Ł600 labour to change a clutch on their drive in a day! That's dealer prices.

if you can get away with that price and have plenty of takers then quite right
i only wish i could charge that and get plenty of takers
most of my work is taxi's so i've done loads and loads of these
and unfortunately i simply cant charge that much as there is to much compitition localy
it is a fair old job on a driveway, i certainly wouldn't want to do it on stands
