Been quoted £370 to fit a Sachs clutch, sound reasonable?

I paid about £450 for a clutch a good few years ago now so that sounds a very fair price.

Cheers Dan, all the cars I’ve owned I’ve never had to replace a clutch so had no idea.

Had the centre console out today as none of top buttons were working. The screws that hold the rear bracket in have threaded, so I’ll try a strong glue for now. Otherwise the whole console will need replacing. Shame as the front has been painted in XPG.

Also still getting the E9 error on the ATC. Replaced the interior sensor but still flashing away. Will have to get that checked aswell.

These are the culprits.

New clutch and lightweight flywheel fitted today 😍 thanks to MG Mobile. Can’t believe the difference. Nice and smooth and revs more freely

The Flywheel makes a big difference doesn't it

I happen to have a Black Oak console (MK2 with the Climate) just sitting in my Garage taking up space if you need it?

Certainly revs more freely. Not had a chance to fully try it, been advised to be careful for the first 500 miles.
Might take you up on the centre console, something isn't quite right with mine. Ive used gorilla glue where the screw holes have threaded at the back of the console to keep it together, feels really tight but the buttons still need a good shove to work. Is that just how they are on mk2's?
Spent 2 hours today just working out how the leather gator goes back on the handbrake, but its on and really pleased with the results!
