gus the bus Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Not for me[Y] but of of my colleagues is needing a replacement clutch for his bugeye WRX. He has been quoted £900 by Subaru so on his behalf can someone provide me with a more realistic price and who could do this. He stays in Paisley so, I suggested contacting Greersport any others locally who would do a good job @ a realistic price???? Cheers Gus[]
philip_wilson Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Hope he had a heart start machine when he got that quote, thats shocking £450 + vat fitted is more like the price he should be paying. Phil
gus the bus Posted October 4, 2006 Author Posted October 4, 2006 Thats more around the figure I quoted him too. £900 is a pure rip off[:@]
craig mac Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Gus Town and county Subaru in Aberdeen will do it for £665 all in if he is a member. If he is not a member and the car is over 5 years old it will cost him £682. Not to shabby eh for main dealer[] Presuming he does not need a flywheel as well[] CraiG Edited to add he could source his own one drive to Aberdeen, and get it fitted for £319 That includes vat by the way
oddwriter Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Starngely enough, my stepson is in the same situation, location with the same car! Could they be the same person?
fai17 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 G.Mac got one done at Grersport but forgot how much tho
alistair_learmonth Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Got a AP Racing clutch fitted in Glenrothes, no flywheel though it was ok, think it was in region £700 fitted.
gus the bus Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Ally, where the Fack have you been hiding???? Not heard fae you since the Nov run in 2005!!!!! ....or it seems that long ago. Hope all is well!? Gus
alistair_learmonth Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Ye Gus, been hiding stealthy likes, did a lot to the car since last we met. The biggest upset was being diagnosed with sleep apnia and losing my licence for 5 months, a even thought about trading in the wifes car for a wee car called Evo 8 FQ330. A dont know if a could trust the wife to drive it, the scoob gets enough abuse since changing the clutch and brakes lol. I spent the five months twiddling my thumbs in the passenger seat. A have actually been relegated to the back seat on more than one occasion, least a could hear my exhaust. Hope everything is well with you and your good lady. A dont see much posts by Sharon? has she bought a Ford or sumthin.
oobster Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 The biggest upset was being diagnosed with sleep apnia and losing my licence for 5 months..... A dont see much posts by Sharon? Think Sharon moved house recently and doesn't have internet access yet @ her new place. The Mrs. was diagnosed with sleep aponea 3 or 4 months ago but she was allowed to keep driving, I guess it depends on the severity of the condition? She has to sleep with a mask on everynight attached to a CPAP machine and she's noticed an improvement on the quality of sleep she gets.

alistair_learmonth Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Right heres my sad tail. I had problems with my thoat closing so blockin my air ways when a slept. I woke say 300 or 400 times a night but as I stopped breathing my brain woke me up and let breath but as quick as it did this a was a sleep again. Result was lack of energy, bad temper and no drive. I had no issues with driving at all and neva fell asleep like some folks a met at hospital driving taxis and heavy goods, they admitted they fell asleep. The point was I was on a waiting list for 2 years and just before a got my CPAP the doctors told me to tell DVLA and a would retain my licence, bullshit. It turned into a nightmare and 5 months later a get it back. CPAP was very effective, am back to normal and can have 5/7 hours sleep and feel great all day, perfect. See the same names cropping up on posts. Same questions anall. Somethings neva change lol
