    been quoted it will take around 8-10 hours to replace clutch. apparantly because its a tight fit, you have to take the engine out?

    how much time would you expect it to take ?

    :(

    About right I think.. depending how you do it.

    I was quoted £550 and £600 from Renault specialists to do mine.

    Thats way too much.
    Got quoted from renault main dealer £400.
    You'll get it done for half that price if you know who to call.

    Loads of places won't do it as they know what a pain it is.
    I found a proper clutch place would do it for £300 all in cash in hand.
    In the end I got a Renault mechanic to do it for £250 all in plus he did it on the drive at my house. It took him 8 hrs though no need to get the engine out he just shoved the geaxbox over to make room.
