It's crazy the price difference. It does say upto 2 weeks for delivery, we don't have time to wait unfortunately but I will definitely keep this site in mind as we are going to need a new clutch soon. Might be a bit more costly.
Thanks for the information though its invaluable
Obviously, cooler still at the 'testing centre' (at the back of the workshop) means you aint getting the car back without a bill.
This leak is rare. While tw has commented on the plastic part, from my experience, they are common to Euro cars including German brands like Opel and BMW. The likelihood of a 2nd hand one being a dud is slight.
You may want to search here for info on the diesel clutch and find cheap repairer, before you put your head in another noose.
Yorkshire's back street repairers don't have feel good frontages that YOU pay for. They are often more capable and compliant mechanics than at the high overhead main street operations. The only difference, backstreet, is that you have to wipe your own bum when you use their 1800's thunder box toilet.
