This is a mkII, you don't see many mark 1 nowadays. So maybe if it is a mkII though I think it was the 2006 model that had thecluster problem. Keep it for at least a couple of years....and the better car you want would be cheaper.:beer:

Theres 2 on my drive!

Not really. It suggests there are a handful of possibilities that it could be, the cheapest being £150 to fix and the most expensive being £400 to fix.

Say I take my car into the garage because I'm finding it hard to get into gear and testing reveals its working fine but the clutch for whatever reason isn't disengaging properly. The problem would be one of two things. It would either be a faulty clutch (worn fingers on the pressure plate) or a faulty slave cylinder as its hydraulic and not cable operated clutch. The former would cost a lot more than the latter but because the slave cylinder is actually in the bellhousing so the gearbox has to come off to check for definite then the garage cannot say with 100% certainty what it is. In that event I'd get a call saying that they think it could be either of those things and what the range of the cost would be.

Not really comparable since garages would just fit a full 3 piece kit
