get your hands dirty then 
Don't forget working on french cars is horrid, everything is back to front, inaccessable and made of the finest monkey metal or the most brittle plastic known to man, and all fasteners require special tools or are an odd size. ....
Also, does the saxo have the normal steel cradle that you have to drop to get the box out? £150 sounds pretty reasonable to me TBH.

I would happily do it for that price and all............. best part of 200 quid for 5 hrs work !!!!!
The price quoted for doing the Saxo clutch aint too bad, it can be a shitty job at times and nobody works for fuck all these days !!
Frim believer in the saying " pay peanuts... get monkeys work " !
