2.4JTD Clutch in Suffolk or Norfolk

Hi All,

I now have clutch slip after my upgrade to 190bhp from 140bhp and I'm looking for a recommended specialists around Norfolk / Suffolk for quotes, any recommendations?

I've already had one person say it's too much for them and another quoting 8 to 8.5 hours for the work (I'm going to supply the clutch myself).

Cheers.

If you don't wanna go that far afield... I'd always recommend Cypress Autoservices up on Pinbush !!

I nearly always use Andy (Cypress owner), but I'm fishing for other quotes as he gave the 8 to 8.5 hours work figure . I always recommend him if anyone wants some work.

Alfa 156 2.4 JTD

Re: 2.4JTD Clutch in Suffolk or Norfolk

Who did your up grade and was it expensive? Wouldn't mind doing something like that but the cars got well over 100K on it and I know the clutch will need replacing soon any way.

It was £249 for the remap and £350 for a stainless exhaust.

I know Andy at Cypress has a good reputation although I haven't used him myself. I had a 48k service done at Avanti Autos and they really do know their Alfa's (and other Italian marques).
