So.....the clutch is slipping pretty bad now. 
Every time it gets to 2k (max torque i assume) it slips and shoots up to 2500rpm, then grabs and revs drop/hold. Now this is pretty damn annoying, especially mid overtake!
Obviously it will need to be replaced, although it better not let let me down over the next couple of weeks...if it does I'll be getting petrol.....and a match.
Just wondering how much a garage would charge to change the clutch kit, and I guess the cable as well while it's getting done. So has anyone been quoted or had thiers done at one of the chain stores like halfords autocentre or anything? If so how much?
I know I've done one before but I don't have anywhere at home to change it, and I can't really afford to have the car off the road for long - and if I need a tool/part that I wasn't expecting I'd have no way of getting it without the car.
Just trying to weigh up (price dependant) whether it'd be better to just give it to a garage to do.....
Cheers
Tom
