    You are looking at 3-4 hour repair providing it goes well, so it depends on their labour rate an hour. Shop around for prices.

    Yea fitter by trade just I'm not in the mood of doing it with no garage lift... If I could get a garage to do it for under 200 quid I'd be happy enough have the complete kit for them and all but dunno the labour cost around meath

    No garage lift never stopped us changing a clutch ;)

    At under 200 I'd be wondering where the corners were cut

    No disrespect, but I sell clutch kits and the amount of "drive-way" mechanics we have on saying the kit is wrong/faulty/whatever and when the technical people speak to them, turns out they don't know what they are doing.

    Unless you are 100% and have the correct fitting tools, know correct tourques, how the bolts should be closed up, I wouldn't. You may end up with a clutch kit that that is not covered under warranty and you can not use.
