Answer 1

Official ford dealership - £1100 - £1500

Local independent garage - £700-£900

Mate that works on cars - £500-£600 as parts cost in excess of £400 TRADE

Answer 2

Slave Cylinder Cost

Answer 3

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

As has been said, the master is nearest or connected to the pedal and operates the slave,which is nearest to the gearbox,get a friend to operate the clutch pedal while you watch one cylinder at a time, one of them needs either replacing or just re kitting, you will easily tell which, the faulty one will be as it will almost certainly be oily and dirty,and will not travel to it`s full extent. Hope this is helpful, good luck.

Answer 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

Best is to call shops.
