I have just replaced my clutch and pressure plate along with a new release bearing, it was even cheaper than when I had the conversion done, conversion has done just over 150,000, as no flywheel was required this time, it did not actually need replacing but the release bearing was rattling and peeing me off so changed it anyway


Hope they replaced the slave cylinder as well...

Got to agree with you. They've made a simple cheap job into a major operation. It's daft.

the list goes on of bits we dont need...

EGR
DPF
DMF
CSC
Catalyctic converters
Common rail
turbos

all guaranteed to cost a mint when the go tits up and not adding a penny to the practicality of use for taxi work
