Vivaro Clutch Prices Question

Hi, would anyone know how much I should expect to pay for a new clutch fitted in a Vauxhall Vivaro (which is the same as a Renault Traffic or Nisan Primister) the slave cilinder also needs to be changed.

I think my cheapest option would be to use a local garage but supply my own parts. The problem with this avanue is that the garage won't give me a full guarantee, this wouldn't normally be a problem but Vivaro clutches are known to be problematic. Someone like Mr clutch will give me a 20,000 mile guarantee but are more expensive.

Has anyone got an idea how much I should expect to pay and is it worth paying extra for the guarantee?

    I dont think you can have it both ways We just use a local garage for all our servicing. We have a number of these on our fleet and had a number of older ones leave the fleet not had a clutch go in any of them.

    how can the garage give you a warranty on parts they didn't supply?
