Answer 2

Lol labour would be the biggest part of the build, You should have asked for a quote first before you sent the car into Halfords, And as they are a big chain they are going to be expensive especially in labour, And cheap in parts as they supply their own.
You need to find a local reliable mechanic who will be cheaper.

Answer 3

Dmf's are terribly expensive for no mechanical or production reason I know of.
However there is quite often a regular clutch unit you can replaxce it with if you ask.

I assume you meant Halfords....Hmmmm..... why do you think we call them Halfrauds

Answer 4

At the Ford main dealers you would be about £1000 +vat for this job, so you have been overcharged.It is recommended by Ford that the dual mass flywheel and slave cylinder are replaced at the same time as the clutch

Answer 5

It's a bit late to be asking now if you've already paid it.
Does seem a bit high but that's the downside to these DMF things, they cost an absolute fortune when they go.

Answer 6

Best is to call shops.
