May take you up in the throttle body Dan, just have to see what happens when the new cable gets fitted. If better hopefully wont need it but if not may need to try that again. Are you in a rush to get rid of it or actively trying to sell it at present?

Just sat in the shed mate - just let me know if you want it and I'll dig it out.

Does sound cheap to me mate. Just make sure he fits what he quotes for I no a few garages who tell customers its a genuine part and its not.

[welshone]

Yes make sure it's a V6 clutch not a 4 pot. That is a flipping good price, i was quoted £400plus.

[Craig-ZS180]

I know what your all saying. It is a genuine 180 clutch and release bearing as I've seen them and they were originally bought to fit to his earlier this year but didnt need it. He basically has let me have the clutch kit for £100 and fitting is £150 and they have done several including his dads late last year.
He's my very close mate and best man in march too so he won't be screwing me over and will be doing and fitting exactly what's been said.
He wouldn't hear the end of it otherwise

To be fair at mates rates £150 is a little over for fitting a clutch on a 180
its a mornings work
but at £250 all in inc gen clutch defo a good price

£250 is a bargain, I paid £315 all in a couple of months ago using Mr Clutch, that includes a 2 year 25000 warranty.

[andys1981]

thats a great price craig,hope you get the cable problem sorted aswell mate.

[Craig-ZS180]

Well yeah once the clutch is in, master cylinder swapped over, new cable is in place and then the £250 handed over hopefully the car will be behaving much more than current.

Its technically paying for use of another unit too in the cost as he can't do it on his current ramp so he's borrowing a unit down the estate with a better 2 poster for the job.
That way his other 2 ramps can stay within use for the other 2 guys in the workshop too. Its may seem a bit steep as you say on a "mates rates" but at the end of the day for everything being done and being guaranteed I will know exactly how its been treated whilst there I don't think its over priced at all on that front.
Appreciate all the opinions guys, seems is a good deal then and hopefully as I say will be back to how it should be once all done.

I sometimes either have a touch of cruise or an on/off moment when I lift off. I noticed the other day that the cable is rubbing on the aircon plpe so must be catching - another job for another day.

Its a bit unnerving when going along at 70 and lifting off expecting it to slow but it either holds or slightly accelerates. Not a nice feeling when at those speeds as you usually only let off because you have too
