Clutch mechanic in the South West area?

75Tom · 16th August 2016, 06:51

Morning all, I've posted this in the SW regional forum so apologies for the double post, but I thought it might get more visibility here.

My slave cylinder is making the dreaded whirring noise and I need to get it replaced; I think it makes sense to do the clutch itself whilst we're at it. And the master cylinder perhaps? Hopefully not the DMF as it was done 40k ago, but will ask the mechanic to check it of course.

Anyway - can anyone recommend mechanic in Dorset area or more broadly in the South of England? My local garage wants £800+...

Also - what are considered the 'gold standard' replacement parts to use please?
