How much to replace a Transit's clutch?

How much should I pay for a clutch to be installed on a Ford Transit van please? I am getting mad quotes and ranges from €200-€450.

Hi Yvonne,

There are a huge number of different versions of the Transit and you've not told us the model year, so we can't give you any kind of accurate figure, but by way of example, for a pretty common 2006-on front-wheel-drive variant it should take no more than five hours to do the job. It then depends on the hourly rate of a garage, as that can vary considerably. And finally, the price of the parts is not particularly low, but it will vary from say a main dealer to a small motor factor.

A price of €200 sounds way too little for the job unless it's just the labour. I'd suggest that €450 is quite realistic from a decent garage with a good reputation.
