Just looked at Mini Mania and thats £116 so should get cheaper than that local

I'll be ringing them tomorrow for a supply and fit price and just a fit price to see what the difference is.
This is baring in mind as well as the inspection 2 service, ive just paid for new discs and mintex pads!!

ggggrrrr!!!

As you are in sunderland i can give praise to a garage in Boldon Colliery (Robertshaw Racing) although its newcastle, i have a mate who works there called Steve, hes a member on hear and has a heavily modded Cooper S. Hes done work on my car and hes a Top mechanic. Here's a link:

They also have cars in the British Touring Car Championships and MINI Challenge so thats gotta be a mark of how good they are. Ohh and they will be chaper than BMW

Maybe source the clutch yourself then give them a ring for a price on fitting it.
