Default Clutch replacement

Hello all
Looking for recommendations for clutch replacement on my 2006 rover 75diesel estate in south Wales . I live in port Talbot. The clutch has just started to slip when in high gear and a slight smell of burning when I park up.
Thank you
John

We are on holiday just a few miles from you, at the moment - near Porthcawl. I wonder if Jules in North Wales might be able to help?

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Some of the clutch fitting guys will come to you to do it, I know Andy W used to travel before the recent altercation about his fitting methodology.

Well, I didn't bring the weather with me, it preceded me by a day Besides, this weather suits us perfectly when away in the caravan, I don't like it too hot nor does Jean.

Default Clutch replacement

There is a place in Swansea that changed a friend's clutch on his 75 Tourer. They certainly knew how to do the job and he was very pleased with the outcome.
In fact I'll be phoning them today to book my ZT in , loosing fluid every couple of days. I'm not having much luck at the moment because the TF is parked up with a clutch failure. Can't find anyone locally to change clutch, insufficient knowledge of car! If I have any joy with these guys in Swansea I will post up their contact number later.
I'm originally from Port Talbot and after 40 years still do not count myself as a Valley Boy!
