[DML] Re: Clutch Problems.

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

A clutch kit (disc, pressure plate and throwout bearing) from us runs about
$390 (part #112512) - our labor rate is $62.50 and we get 10 hours labor to
do it.

You might try calling Paul Windsor at Wingray in Liverpool if you haven't
already, ring him at 0151-428-9043 - I believe he has all these parts and
certainly the experience to do the job.
