Ok, the time is coming close for a clutch in the turbo, how easy are they to change? is it a simple, disconnect the prop, undo 8-12 gbox securing bolts, slip box off, fall on your head :) , new clutch ( easy to align?? ) then all in reverse???

Mr Clutch want £300 , I'm thinking if its easy enough to do then £120 for a stock clutch and a days work could be the way to go.

comments please

Yeah with a set of good axel stands its quite an easy job .. just on the turbo the bolts that hold the pressure plate on have to be removed via the covers first as its a pull type clutch and femember to replace the plate cover bearing and fork .. and give the cylinder an overhaul while your there

its was easy to re-move the box and old clutch for but putting it back together was a bitch well the gear box back on anyhow

Cheapest I've been quoted so far (as been looking for you x x :gay: ) is £188.73 plus VAT and that's trade :umm:

I'll ask Toyota, but their comps have just crashed as just been on the phone to them.

I was lucky, the bloke who owned the car before me had the clutch replaced at a toyota dealer £405 :)
