Rang around the two closest Fiat garages today for a new clutch........... £900  Oh but that does include the VAT he told me,great book it in then lol. I just cannot get my head around that price!!! Problem here in Pembrokeshire is the fact Im about 4 hour drive from motormech etc!! So does anyone know any decent independant garages who could fit a clutch if I supplied it within a 2 hr radius of me?? Swansea/Carmarthen/Cardiff?? Thanks for the advice, any other ideas welcomed lol

It's worth the extra drive to know that the job's been done right and your car is in good hands. And you'll still save money! That's assuming your clutch has enough life left to get you there... Fwiw, I took mine down to Motormech from Livingston Scotland, having only just got back from PowerFiat and Perfect Touch - they're even further away!

I think ah4fuxake has had a cambelt done by matt in seawall and can recommend him as he is pretty decent with a major love affair for these cars as demonstrated by the fact he owns 3
