Seems my 2005 CRV desel 2.2 CRV is after 136.000 mikes in need of a new clutch been given a priice of £1100 fitted does this seem a fair price? Its booked in for next week at the local garage I use.

Seems fair enough considering the level of work required to replace the clutch

I would, however, be expecting to have the Dual Mass Flywheel replaced within that cost as well 

Thanks Trevor, the dual mass flywheel is in the price. First time I've ever had a clutch need replacing on any car I've had.

This little CRV has a tow bar on the back don't know hpw much work she did but is it true towing does wear a clutch out quicker??

 

Ah that's an even better price then!

Clutches can wear faster when towing heavy weights (twin axle car trailer for example) but it is also the stop-start motion on the transmission which is being pushed to the limit unless the trailer is braked and then this can reduce the 'whiplash' on the transmission components

Thanks again Trevor for this information. Booked in for next Tues/Weds

Got the old girl back with her new clutch -Labour, Clutcn Kit, Dual Mass Flywheel, Gear Oil, and Bolts incl Vat £1,113,23 take it back in 2 weeks for a check that all is as it should be (or before if a problem).

 

Feels like a new car.
