clutch problems...
I've recently been having the odd occasion where my clutch pedal needs a bit of help coming back up. It's only now and then, but it's getting more frequent. Hoping it lasts till Feb when I can get it in for an overhaul, but does anyone know roughly how much I'll be looking at for a new clutch fitted? Anything else I should get looked at while the gearbox is off?
As ever, thank you for reading and imparting the wisdom of the forum!
Matt.what is this life, if full of care?
we have no time to stand and stare.

I paid around £1600 about 18 months ago. that included a DMF, new xy sensor, master cylinder and replace corroded pipework apparently.
Make sure they re-attach the crossover pipe bolts or that will go west not long afterwards (v expensive!)

That's very cheap, bearing in mind the OEM flywheels are still on back order, and a Flywheel from JLR is £550...My D3 Build Thread
