I would change it anyway when doing the clutch.

Cheers mate. I just had it done about 5month ago aswell lol.

Ah never lol I did mine with my last service, carried out a big service when I bought it so I knew everything was done but I'll be looking to change mine soon as I think I got a noisy release bearing (it's been like it since I bought the car but hasn't got worse). It makes a kind of rattly noise but when I dip the clutch it goes away. I've had a look on here it's either that or the input shaft bearing in the gearbox, I hope it's not the later.

How much did it cost to fit or did you do it yourself?

I think my release bearing is gone aswell it squeaks a lot in reverse and has done for a while, then last week or 2 when i accelerate it is like i am riding the clutch sometimes and you can smell the clutch burning.

I have it booked in for the 3rd of june. not sure how much the clutch is costing to fit cause am getting a few things done.

Front brake discs and pads
brake lines
2 front shocks
clutch
FRSU adjusted, but it was same place that done it first time so they aren't charging full wack.

All for £432inc vat.

That's not a bad price for all that. It may be a bit cheaper than I expected.
